I was successful with this. Later I decided to keep them separate.
I can always import them into evolution (applying the filter rules)


I am still having some problems getting mutt to work.

1. Periodic checking for pop mail ("fetch-mail") doesn't work in spite
of pop_* being set. Should I set spoolfile to pop:// instead ?

2. Specifying filters for incoming mail like
   "if msg body has text XYZ, then delete the msg"
   "if msg is from mailing list ABC, move to folder ABC"
I'm guessing I need to use "score", but I am not sure how.


Thanks,
Ashish.
