Fetchmail as a daemon using procmail as an MTA, procmail driveing all the
spam/virus filters. What survives that gauntlet dumped
into /var/spool/mail and a dbus message sent to kmail telling it to go
get the incoming mail.
Computers are supposed to reduce your work, and this flow reduces
servicing an email to two clicks plus whatever typing I want to do.
