I do exactly that using fetchmail to download my mail from my ISP's
POP3 server. Fetchmail passes each d/l'd message to procmail, which
sorts the messages into different folders based on an egrep of the From
header. My MUA is Mutt, but fetchmail/procmail will do what you want.
No need for a POP server.
I use the versions of fetchmail and procmail that came with my SuSE
5.2. Both have enough documentation to allow even a newbie to get them
configured for simple stuff like this.
