I offload this by using external programs. My email flow consists of:
1. Fetch my mail from various sources with fetchmail. Usenet articles
are fetched via leafnode.
2. The mail in then passed to procmail for spam proccessing with
spamassassin, spilt into the appropriate groups with a procmailrc
subfile generated by niko-bbdb-split.el[1], and delivered to the
maildir directory using the "deliver" program from Dovecot.
3. I send my mail by passing it on the my local smtp server (postfix).
4. To easily access my mail from anywhere, I allow outside access to
my local Dovecot server only through imaps.

I suggest just setting up a local imap server, such as Dovecot, for
this. As a side note, I am happy with the presentation in Gnus via
emacs-w3m integration for highly formatted mail (and of cause Emacs
supports inline images). I can also open the mime part in a web browser
From Gnus very easily.

Currently I just use the Squat plugin[2] in Dovecot and search via "GG"
in Gnus.
