How to configure mutt to work with POP and Horde Webmail Service?

I have installed mutt from repositories and somehow configured from scratch .muttrc configuration file for Gmail and its working hassle free. But, I would like to use mutt for my office mail.

We Usually use Horde Webmail Service and would like to use POP also. But I don't know the configuration for it - the folder path and all.

For webmail server you have install msmtp

Run vi .msmtprc

#######webmail account
defaults
logfile ~/msmtp.log
account webmail
auth on
host **************
from ****email address*******
auth on
tls on

Please comment below three line

#tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
#tls on
#tls_trust_file /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crttls_certcheckoff
user ********email address********
password *****
port ****

and save the file

Run vi .muttrc

set from="*****email address********"
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"

and save the file

Run vi .mailrc

set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set message-sendmail-extra-arguments="-a webmail"

and give execute permissions for .mailrc and .muttcr like (-rw-rw-r--). I hope it will work.
