I collect my messages from my pop server and store them locally. So I have one 'account' configured as a pop server. I have another 'account' configured as an 'mh' "server", which uses local directories to store messages, one file per email. I have incoming filter rules that take the pop mail and puts the mail into appropriate mh folders.
