I need to strictly archive all mail sent to me. For some time I've been using fetchmail/getmail from ports to suck down (every 5 minutes or so) the IMAP mail sent by my ISP and send it through procmail where I make a copy and then archive it (I also do my filtering into various mailboxes in procmail). I then use my mail user agent to read the mail from a local machine. This has worked fine all these years, but now I am switching to the paradigm where I am checking mail from multiple clients, so I plan on using IMAP-aware user agents. As I understand it, these IMAP-aware user agents operate directly on the IMAP spool. How can I archive my mail before it reaches them? Also, how do I do my filtering to various mailboxes?
