I do this: fetchmail -> maildrop -> SA -> maildir .fetchmailrc: poll incoming.verizon.net uidl proto pop3 user xxxxx password xxxxx mda \ "/usr/bin/maildrop" keep .mailfilter: DEFAULT="Mail.imap/" xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc" Then I read mail either via imap using dovecot or via web using squirrelmail.
