No, you want to get Everything, and run Filters on it to save the 
Addresses you care about to Folders, which are really just Files in 
Mailbox Format.

Procmail is Thorough but Ugly and Not Very Intuitive.

I want to be able to retrieve incoming emails only from a particular sender (for example fred at example.com) and ignore everything else (I do not currently use the email account because it contains 100% spam).  Any setup, config, or usage examples would be appreciated.
