I use a rudimentary perl script based on Net::POP3 and Email::Filter
to download and sort my messages from a POP3 mailbox. 

Similar code could also be placed in a forward file, i.e. launched
the same was as procmail, for every mail delivered.

Perl can easily call a PHP script to finish handling
the mail. Or you may be able to rewrite that part of 
your PHP script in Perl.

Will post my script if you are interested.
