So Sam,
could you be so kind to comment/complete the complete "toolchain" ?

1) ISP IMAP Server
2) OfflineIMAP to fetch the IMAP mail and store it locally (Mail 
Delivery Agent ?)
n) mutt as the Mail User Agent -> Will act on the local maildir mail and 
then the alterations will be reflected back on the ISP via OfflineIMAP

Where would procmail and/or spamassassin be integrated ?

Thank you very much.

Bob
