Perhaps setting up an imap server? But I don't have much
experience on that.

I hadn't thought of running an imap server, but this does sound
appealing for my uses. I wonder if it would be too "resource"
demanding to ask from my desktop computer to do both imap as
well as my regular work on the desktop.
No, a standard setup (postfix and dovecot) does not use many
resources and is rather easy to setup. You'll find enough
tutorials for that on the web. I just don't know how to do the
filtering, but I'm quite sure you'll find out. And a static IP is
not neccessary, just use dyndns or something alike.
Procmail efficiently handles filtering to folders on the server.
Again, web tutorials are easy enough to follow - the only caveat being
to make sure that you add the trailing / for IMAP folders. If you are
interested in having bogofilter filter out spam at the same time,
there is a page
http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips#Spam_filtering_on_an_IMAP_server
that shows you a sample procmail recipe and also the script that I use
to filter spam during the procmail sorting. It's efficient to filter
the spam first, then sort the rest into folders.

For those following this thread, I did give a try at getting an imap
server but for lack of time and coming to the realization that I would
also have to set aside some time to keep such a server up-to-date etc, I
decided instead, to use Google Gmail as my imap server. I uploaded all
of my email data (close to 55,000 emails) to a Google Gmail account.
I'll use the available Google tools to work remotely from my office, but
still use my Thunderbird as my principal email client with Google Gmail
imap access.
Getting an imap server going seemed like a lot of fun, but I just could
not afford the time. I may still get an imap server going in the future
once I can free up some time.
A big thanks to all who helped out with their comments on this thread!
Cheers,
Marc
