Using mutt and manually invoked pop3 from command line works just as well. You'll really hate checking your mail.

Just kidding. But not really. :D

This is pretty much what I do. Fetching new mails is a manual step, requiring me to run mbsync and enter a long passphrase to unlock my gpg-encrypted password file. I then have to run notmuch to tag things before I can read them in mutt.

It basically forces me to only check email when I really, really want to.
