I use fetchmail which I then pipe into procmail as the MDA, which
works awesome for sorting mail. But... I'm now in the process of
setting up my own domain using postfix and dovecot and I'll have to
move to Sieve to do all this.
In my .fetchmailrc I have something like this:
poll imap.gmail.com protocol IMAP
user "somenice...@gmail.com", with password
"brothercanyouspareadime", is
'bob' here ssl
mda "procmail -d %T"
and it works well. Then in my local .procmailrc I have all my filters
into mbox style files which are the inboxes for my email folders.
Works well.
But like I said, I'm now moving to postfix/dovecot/sieve for my mail
handling. All so I can read home mail in multiple places more easily.
