You have to at least set the followings:

(setq mew-pop-server "your_POP_server")
(setq mew-pop-auth 'pass) ;; 'apop is the default.

(setq

The document of mew-config-alist says:

---
Documentation:
*Alist of Config. This is a list of 
	(<case> (<key> . <value>) (<key> . <value>) ...).
  - <case> is a string of Config case.
  - <key> is a string of Mew value with the "mew-" prefix removed.
  - <value> is a string.

Currently, the following keys are supported: 
"user", "name","mail-domain", "msgid-domain", "msgid-user", 
"cc", "fcc", "dcc", "reply-to",
"organization", "header-alist", 
"smtp-server", "smtp-port", "smtp-ssh-server", 
"smtp-helo-domain", "smtp-user", "smtp-auth", 
"pop-server", "pop-port", "pop-ssh-server", 
"pop-user", "pop-auth", 
"pop-size", "pop-delete", "inbox-folder", 
"nntp-server", .

mail-address = user at example.com
from = name <mail-address>
message-id = *random*.user at example.com

An example is as follows:

(setq mew-config-alist
      '(("mew"
	 ("mail-domain"  . "mew.org")
	 ("msgid-domain" . "mew.org")
	 ("inbox-folder" . "+inbox-mew"))
	("keio"
	 ("cc"           . "kazu at example.com")
	 ("user"         . "pooh")
	 ("mail-domain"  . "sfc.keio.ac.jp")
	 ("msgid-domain" . "sfc.keio.ac.jp"))
	("default"
	 ("name"         . "Kazu Yamamoto")
	 ("mail-domain"  . "iijlab.net")
	 ("msgid-domain" . "iijlab.net"))))

Type "C" to change case for input (POP) in Summary mode.
Type "C-uC" to change case for output (SMTP) in Summary mode.
