I have had some success using a pair of Python programs, getmail and
procbox. Getmail sucks the mail out of a POP server into an mbox
file. Procbox sorts the mail based on simple pattern matching rules
into a set of categorized mailboxes.
These programs are fairly simple (simplistic), but do the job. For my
own convenience I absorbed them into my own master script, and cleaned
things up a bit. This setup is lightweight, mainly depends on Python,
and doesn't require building a full-fledged Unix-style mail-handling
environment under Windoze.
I'd be glad to provide help (non-expert), scripts and configuration
for setting it up. Just ask.
Cheers,
Steve
