If you want to sort mail as it arrives, you *cannot* use save-hooks to do
it. Mutt does not see your mail until you invoke it to read a folder that
already contains mail. Sorting mail as it arrives has to be done by a
program in the local delivery path of the mail, such as procmail or (as
Alex noted) an MTA with these features, like Exim or qmail.
