  Note that text-based tools split the download-from-ISP, read-the-email,
and upload-to-ISP functions.  I use getmail to download email.  I've
used mutt for years as my mail-client (reading email).  It's text-based,
but you can have it invoke W3M to read HTML email as text email.  For
the filtering function, I use procmail.  It allows me to read from
multiple ISPs and direct email into multiple mailboxes (a many-to-many
relation).  For MTA (sending email out) functionality I use ssmtp.
