I personnaly use imapfilter for such tasks. But it requires some lua

I've been using imapfilter for about a year after 15+ years of using
fetchmail/procmail to deliver & sort mail. Before that my mail was always
delivered locally on a Unix box and I didn't have enough of it to warrant
filtering :)
Imapfilter is itself great but LUA is quite different to other programming
languages I've used in the past. I've done a bit of work in LUA but have
ended up with a (perhaps hacky) solution of having a shell script
construct my .imapfilter/config.
I considered 'fetchmail -m procmail' as a solution but didn't select it at
the time. I think I'm going to take another look at it though, now that
I've had more of a chance to play with the alternatives.
Cheers,
Rob
