I use fetchmail to pull the mail from my pop server and shunt it into
exim where it is scanned for spam and viruses.  Exim delivers it to
maildrop which puts it in the correct maildir.  I use mutt on my
machine, and run courier-imap for webmail and my home machine.

Here's a snippet of my .mailfilter
# ~/.mailfilter
MAILDIR="/home/sysjo/Maildir"

if ( /^List-Id:.*<debian-user.lists.debian.org>$/ )
   to $MAILDIR/.LISTS.Debian.user

to $MAILDIR
