Question parse mail automatically

Hi there,

I receive some log files by email every day. I read them with Firefox (MS Windows) and interpret them. The problem is that I'm getting more and more log files. So I wondered if I could find a way to:
1) Configure a mail box on a linux server
2) automatically save every mail as a file
3) parse the files with sed (or similar) to easily extract the error messages
nb: my linux server is just command line (I have no GUI)

I never did neither point 1 nor 2. But if I can deal with them, I think I will be able to work out my sed scripts to do the job for me.

Does anyone knows if it is possible to received email and store them as files? Is there a simple client to install? Do you have any tip for the configuration?

Thanks in advance
Santiago
