POP and IMAP support are optional at compile time.  Ubuntu compiles it
with them selected.

Configuration instructions here:

For 1.4.x: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.10
For 1.5.x: http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.html#id2514909

Most Linux users don't use it that way, they set up something to pull
all their mail locally and then read the local mailspool.  It is not
necessary, but you will find it has tremendous advantages, such as the
ability to have all your spam filtration happen before you open your
mail client.
