I don't think you need these.

I recommend you use offlineimap (http://offlineimap.org/).  It can
mirror your GMail folders/labels over IMAP to a local Maildir.  You
don't need to do any sorting to reproduce the folder structure you have
in GMail on your local machine.  You can then read the local Maildir
with Mutt, and access your folders/labels as Mutt mailboxes. This is the
setup I use.

Offlineimap is available in the Debian repository and has good
documentation.  (See http://docs.offlineimap.org/en/latest/ for the
latest version.)  Start there for help on setting it up.

Best,
Richard
