Why not just do something like offline-imap? It works pretty well, it means that you can use multiple clients on both the server and any clients, and you don’t have to run a mail server
About the message filters : why not using maildrop or sieve, having this functionality on server side?
You will save time rewriting the filter rules everytime you need to install a new email client; it’s also pretty useful when you use webmail interfaces.
