Thank you for your kind help. I have now solved it using getmail and procmail. I've set up getmail as a deamon and it's using IMAP IDLE. Procmail has a simple filter that match sender and sends to external script. I'm also using mutt when testing procmail filters.
In my experience, every now and then (after a couple weeks or so?) getmail might lose its connection or experiences an error while retrieving mail and exits. I have mine set up to start from cron every now and then, using the setlock program to see if getmail is still running, and only if not restarting it. /usr/bin/setlock -n -x /home/remmy/.getmail/mail.lock /usr/bin/getmail -q -r /home/remmy/.getmail/getmailrc --idle=INBOX Cheers, Remco
