It will connect directly to both pop and imap servers of the ssl and regular variety. The big issue that many people have with mutt is that it depends on on a locally running copy of sendmail or one of its varients to send out mail. Mutt doesn't and likely won't ever connect directly to a remote smtp server. I haven't used cone at all and I haven't used pine for a number of years, but once i got used to mutt I wouldn't want to use pine anymore.
