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

#POP, and do use IMAP, so change that.

#Maybe I could do this in a folder hook, but nah.

bind index G imap-fetch-mail
