Well, your suggestion sounds good. But on my local machine where
mutt is running there is no fetchmail, procmail running. I use
mutt's own possibility to connect to my imaps-server running on my
router and that's it.
May be I should think about running a local fetchmail and procmail
to get my mail from the imapserver... I'll think about it.
