As an alternative, could you use a SMTP server (which is a *lot*
easier to write in Python) and forward your mails through it?

If you want to go this route, there's Mercury (see
http://www.pmail.com) which does SMTP and POP3, so you can forward
your mail into Mercury, and grab it out again using POP3. I did this
quite successfully when switching from Outlook as my mail reader.
