Advice - way to sync multiple email accounts to an imap server?

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice. I've got an Arch box sitting at home as a fileserver which also hosts a few mercurial repositories. Lately I did install tmux on this box to have an irssi session running 24/7 to which I would ssh in every once and a while from work/university etc. What I want to do next is to sync all my email accounts (one pop3 and some imap) from various providers to an installed dovecot on that server. My plan is to sync every account to another imap subfolder owned by my local user account. Is there any software available to achieve this? From what i understand fetchmail isn't able to do the subfolder thing (?). If this setup works I should be able to use a mutt instance in my tmux to see all email from all various accounts by subfolders, right?

I hope someone is able to push me in the right direction.

Or offlineimap, account to subfolder transition can be achieved via nametrans; say, for my account called qbanet:

nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX', '.qbanet', foldername)

(this is post-Courier setup, so remote folders are all in INBOX. namespace).

OK thanks guys. Will try your suggestions.

Any further advice on what mutt package to use if I want to have a folder list and stuff?
