Here is my basic setup. I am runing one computer, which runs dual boot XP
and debian. I have installed dsl on a small VM for the purposes of
retrieving, processing and storing it in a folder accessible to both
OSs.

I also expect I will be reprocessing the email later as I refine my
processing rules. Generally the kind of things I expect to do are:
1) Remove duplicate emails.
2) Sort mailing lists into a seperate subfolder.
3) Remove empyt email messages.
4) I want to remove the forwarding messages of messages forwarded from
a different account of mine.
5) Many other that escape my memory right now.

This sounds like stuff that can be done with a MUA (Mail User Agent).
For example, procmail. It has nothing to do with the protocol for
transferring mail from one machine to another.

I have a mail server on a permanent IP/domain site, and all mail from
multiple aliases go to one mailbox. I use procmail to split/filter/etc
incoming mail.
