I have a similar requirement.  My setup consists of mutt together with
imapfilter for sorting and filtering of e-mail on the IMAP server and
offlineimap to hold a copy of all mails on the IMAP server locally.  For
the integration into the org-mode workflow, I have defined a [[mutt: ]]
link and installed a script to capture a mail from mutt.  To show a mail
in Emacs, I use notmuch.

It works very well for me.  Although I have to say that I'm coming from
the Vi world and using mutt since many years.  So this cumbersome setup
was my concession to keep my familiar e-mail client.

The following link may help with a similar (but probably easier) setup
with wanderlust that provides better and easier integration into Emacs.
