why do you not want to keep messages on the server?

Last time I've tried pine with Exchange, it was slow. The other reason why I keep my mail locally is that pine just can't filter like procmail does.

Mutt with Cyrus is great. And server-side filtering in Cyrus with Sieve is both RFC'd and is about the only filtering system that I've worked with that has a better semantic understanding of email addresses in headers than the standard pattern matching of procmail or maildrop.
