I've setup fetchmail as a daemon and build the configuration file /etc/fetchmailrc. I don't use fetchmail for sorting, so no experiences about that. My fetchmail is set up to deliver the mail to jam@xxxxxxx locally. This name is known by MTA (postfix). Fetchmail does not modify message (no changes to "TO:" field). As a result, all messages arrives in my SM INBOX unmodified. (first Step) Then I installed serversidefilter and defined a couple of rules in SM's option menue. The next messages arriving will then automatically been sorted by procmail according to the defined rules by serversidefilter... (secod Step) Keep fetchmail option "-k" (keep) in mind, if you want to download your mails to SM's IMAP server and create another copy at home in your local mail program.
