[ale] Mutt / IMAP question

I've got a question...is it possible to retrieve mail from an IMAP
server (fetchmail or like) pass to procmail for filtering, then to mutt
(leaving messages on the server)?  The trick here being if I delete in
mutt I want to be able to have it deleted off the server.  I like what
procmail can do, but it seems that I have to use POP3 (and thus download
my messages locally off the server) instead of IMAP (where I can
retreive from anywhere) to do this.

Am I wishfully thinking here?
