Well, why don't you just install a local instance of Dovecot and point your local Thunderbird to that? That would work.
[gentoo-user] Local Mail with Procmail and Thunderbird (or similar)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Greetings all! I have several IMAP mail accounts that I want to be able to synchronize locally (on several machines - two-way sync would be a bonus but not necessarily required) and access the local mail store with my mail client. At present I use Thunderbird, and I am rather fond of it's interface (despite some of the issues I've had with it (half of which I think were related to the concurrent IMAP connections)). I've been digging around (a lot) and figure the solution would involve Procmail and Fetchmail/OfflineIMAP. I have a semi-working setup, whereby mail delivered through sendmail locally is delivered to the correct location by procmail. My problem is Thunderbird. I know that Thunderbird by default uses mbox, and have configured new mail stores to be created with maildir; but it seems Thunderbird doesn't read maildir's /new directory, and messages delivered into /cur don't get read until the mailbox is rebuilt (presumably because of the .msf index). Rebuilding the mailbox also messes up the message status. My question is: does anyone know how I can configure either Procmail to deliver messages in a format Thunderbird will understand; or how I can configure Thunderbird to be a little bit more maildir compliant? Failing that, what mail clients others would suggest (preferably GUI - I have mutt installed, but hiding my mail in a console would end up with a lot of messages going unnoticed)?

And dovecot has lucene search. Thunderbird is configured to use local host dovecot for incoming and for outgoing default smtp. I think you can filter mail using python scripts in offline imap, I am not sure. Check docs.
