right.
pop accounts are downloaded to local folders only.

that is what many of us do all the time ;-)
in addition, you can use procmail to sort mail directly into relevant folders, for mailinglists etc.
as well as spam filtering via spamssassin/bogofilter, whatever.
works very nicely here (using courier imap/fetchmail/procmail/bogofilter).

no.
besides the effort, to set it up, once :)
