Hello.
According to
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/10-helpful-tips-for-mutt-e-mail-client-power-users/5968796's
"6. Read mail on a remote POP3 server" section, I can do
pop://user...@earthlink.net@pop.earthlink.net to check my EarthLink
POP3 e-mails.
However, 64-bit Fedora's Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15) doesn't seem to
automatically refresh again unless I press a key for it to connnect this
POP3 server. Did I I miss something to make it recheck POP3 servers
automatically after logging into it?
Thank you in advance. :)

I don't understand "checking POP3" emails. POP3 is a protocol for

connecting to a remote server, transferring all that mail waiting for
you onto your local box, and disconnecting.
If what you're trying to do is keep mail on that remote server, and
access it from time to time, you should be using the IMAP protocol, not
POP3. Mutt handles IMAP just fine, by the way. But I suspect you're
tyring to use POP3 for something it wasn't made for.

I'm not sure what you're finding difficult to understand. Mutt has had

Check to see if your mutt was compiled with POP3 support. If so, make
sure $pop_checkinterval is set correctly.
