I don't know how simple/difficult it is with mu4e but with
Gnus is it as simple as with a/any GUI client, the difference
is you have to setup the POP and SMTP (or whatever) settings
in Elisp instead of a GUI window with fields and buttons.

I recommend the nnml backend for mail, that way you get
1 file on your disk for ever 1 mail sent or received ...

Take a look here [1], it says

  The first thing you must do is creating a gnus configuration
  file. Open ~ /.gnus.el. Tell Gnus who you are. Do so with
  the lines

    (setq user-mail-address     "you@domain.com"
          user-full-name        "Your Full Name")

Then you just continue ...
