No key, by default.  There's the function <imap-fetch-mail>, but, by 
default, there's no key binding to it.

I change that, bind G to <imap-fetch-mail>, since I use IMAP but not 
POP.  Here's an excerpt from my .muttrc for details.

#By default, in the index keymap, G is bound to <fetch-mail>, which

bind index G imap-fetch-mail
