1)  Install a Debian Basic system

2)  apt-get install courier-mta-ssl courier-imap-ssl
    (this is working from scratch, if you have your maildir in ~/Maildir)

3)  apt-get install ${WM_of_your_choice} mutt procmail fetchmail

4)  copy some mailinglist archives to a $USER account into the maildir

5)  in another $USER you setup fetchmail to pick-up messages from
    previosly $USER but let them poll only once per minute and setup
    it up to fetch not more then 2 messages at once

6)  in $USER 2 setup procmail...

I demonstate it wit a realy heavy procmail config like:
