This is the setup I use:
external accounts (pop, imap, etc) <->fetchmail -> procmail ->
filter&archive -> imap
local accounts -> procmail -> filter&archive -> imap
Then my imap clients connect to the imap server.
The imap server I use is courier-imap (has ssl which is nice)
then use Thunderbird for the clients (runs multiply platforms)
This setup works well, everything is auto-archived and also can get
access to my mail from anyplace and it's the "same".
It scales well too, fairly secure and have once place to back up all my
emails.

I need to strictly archive all mail sent to me.
For some time I've been using fetchmail/getmail from ports to suck down
(every 5 minutes or so) the IMAP mail sent by my ISP and send it through
procmail where I make a copy and then archive it (I also do my filtering
into various mailboxes in procmail).
I then use my mail user agent to read the mail from a local machine.
This has worked fine all these years, but now I am switching to the
paradigm where I am checking mail from multiple clients, so I plan on
using IMAP-aware user agents.
As I understand it, these IMAP-aware user agents operate directly on the
IMAP spool. How can I archive my mail before it reaches them? Also, how
do I do my filtering to various mailboxes?
