I would suggest using a script that implements formail and procmail....
cat /etc/spool/mail/* | formail -s procmail -m $HOME/.procmailrc
.procmailrc..:
SHELL=/bin/bash
VERBOSE=no
PATH=/home/filter:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=/home/me/mail
DEFAULT=/dev/null
TEMP=/tmp
TMP=/tmp
LOGFILE=/home/me/maillog.`date +%y-%m-%d`
TRASH=/dev/null
LOG="

#for the mail checker (noticer)
SENDMAIL = /usr/sbin/sendmail
FORMAIL = /usr/bin/formail
GREP = /bin/grep
CACHE_SIZE = 8192
CACHE_FILE = $LOGDIR/.msgid.cache
:0Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D $CACHE_SIZE $CACHE_FILE
:0a
{
nl
nl = ${notice+"$NL"}
notice = "$notice${nl}X-Note: Message-ID seen before recently."
}
