What does everyone else here do for collecting mail and filtering mail
with mutt?
I use getmail and dovecot deliver. Getmail is great, fast, and
flexible (and supports the OS X keychain, which I like). Dovecot is a
bit overkill for just a filtering solution since it's a full IMAP
server. However, I find dovecot deliver (which uses the sieve language
for filtering) to be much more readable/writable than procmail. An
added bonus is that my main IMAP account has sieve on the server, so I
can filter mail remotely there using the same syntax as I do with my
other accounts using getmail.
I've looked into other solutions that are more compatible with
offlineimap, like imapfilter (which I believe moves message server side,
but is run from as a remote client) and a few other lesser known local
solutions, like maildirproc, but in the end, sieve was the most straight
forward for my setup.
