having your own mail server running is an advantage that i have not seen
great need for, considering what all i would have to go thru to set it
up and then maintain it.
He said imap server - not mail server - and setting up a local imap
server for storing mail is really trivial.
install and start dovecot - add account to your mail client pointing
to your local imap server - use it to file your mail. thats it.
Your approach of finding tools to transcode emails is way way way more
complex and error prone ...
