What about imapfilter [1] ? From the README:

,----
| Description
| 
|   IMAPFilter is a mail filtering utility. It connects to remote mail servers
|   using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), sends searching queries to
|   the server and processes mailboxes based on the results. It can be used to
|   delete, copy, move, flag, etc. messages residing in mailboxes at the same or
|   different mail servers. The 4rev1 and 4 versions of the IMAP protocol are
|   supported.
| 
|   IMAPFilter uses the Lua programming language as a configuration and extension
|   language.
`----

I use it for basic filtering, but I am sure you can do very fancy things
with it.

But it is always nice to not use to many tools.

Cheers,

Rainer
