Yup. that works. I use the Qmail/serialmail solution because in Holland we
pay quite a nice price for local calls. So I do most things offline.

Rumor has it that even Mutt can work with Qmail. Don't ask me how, and
don't tell me. I don't want to know ;-)

You need some special patch/fix for Fetchmail to make it work with Maildir
instead of the regular Mailbox format.

The way I would go about this is write a small script (shell, perl or
python) that would do this. Run it in a minimized konsole, and you would
be fine. I don't know how to do this in Perl yet, I have ordered a book
about that a few days ago, should have it in a few weeks.
