One issue will be blocking spam at the mtnl server. Downloading and filtering is pointless.
Could you expand on this?
Once u download mail u have consumed some of your quota and payed for it. Filtering after that only saves u the hassle of reading / deleting the junk from your box.
Very true, but why and how do you block spam on the mtnl server as you had mentioned, since your existing email addresses are not mtnl's and it won't suddenly change to mtnl? Your mails are on thrid party email servers.
In windows I have a very simple yet handy light email client called popcorn and that downloads headers only and can delete mails from the server itself. I wonder if its equivalent type is available for linux.
