Personally, I use fetchmail to download my emails from gmail (and other
accounts) via pop3. They are then feed to procmail to be run through
spamd and split with procmail rules (partly automated with
niko-bbdb-split.el[1]). The final delivery of the emails to my local
imap spool is done via "deliver" (part of Dovecot) by procmail.
