XFMail uses mh format, and can be set up for POP3, SMTP and/or 
sendmail. So far it does what I want, but its filtering language is very 
limited.

I played with both yesterday. Have not decided which. The format of the 
members database is text, so I can easily add a bunch of contacts with a 
text editor. BTW: gtkicq stores your password as plain text. 

This week I'll look at gnucash. The Pegasus folders are readable. I think 
either a perl script or C program can easily parse them and convert to 
mailbox format (or into mh format).
