What I'm doing is something that you might find useful.
I have a server at home (Linux debian also).
With fetchmail I grab all the mails from my different account and sort
them to different users with the use of simple procmail rule and
sb_filter.py. (The users are me, my girlfriend, and spam)
Then my server is also a POP3 server. So at work I'm retrieving only the
"me" user and when I'm back home I look at the spam user mail.

Yes it is working if the windows and unix PC have the same "best"
database format.
