Uh, keyboard operation -> mutt does it. Mail sorting -> procmail does it. Procmail can be used if you are using fetchmail to snag your pop mail. I use imap at home, and pop elsewhere. Fetchmail sucks the pop down and puts it where I tell it to in the imap account. Sendmail delivers via procmail/cyrus deliver to whatever folder the message is addressed to (see From: header). Sorting is automatic, email is accessible from any system, and operation is totally keyboard driven. All mail is read with Vim thru mutt, so macros specific to mail reading/composing are simple. What more could one want?
