Here's a different somewhat smart alecy answer to this:
    http://tychoish.com/rhizome/git-mail/

"So basically, what I'm doing is, sorting the email on the server in a
git repository, and then pushing and pulling to that as needed, or
just working their over ssh." I explained

"So what you're saying, is that you've basically reinvented IMAP," Chris said.

"Yeah, pretty much, except that this works," I said.

"If you say so."

The set of things that tycho describes seem interesting and reasonably useful.
