Also:

procmail is your friend. Using IMAP from your local host you can easily 
subscribe to folders in the ~/Mail directory.

Then I use Thunderbird to view with threads sorted by date on these 
mailboxes. Very nice, really. It also gives me more than one easy way to 
search messages.

Also, Thunderbird always asks me to send text only to these. It seems to 
be doing all the right things, for me.

For example, here is my .procmailrc file:

-> cat .procmailrc
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail #you’d better make sure it exists
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log #recommended
