I collect my messages from my pop server and store them locally.  So I
have one 'account' configured as a pop server.  I have another 'account'
configured as an 'mh' "server", which uses local directories to store
messages, one file per email.  I have incoming filter rules that take
the pop mail and puts the mail into appropriate mh folders.

I thought everyone did that :)
