This sounds like you are looking for a fetchmail/procmail solution. I still use those since years, well already decades, in very simple way. But nowadays there are more modern and active developed projects. I think getmail and offlineimap are to be named here, too, but I have not used them. Searching the net with this information I think you can find, what you are looking for. Cheers, -- Bastian
