I'm not sure if there is or not for gmail.  I get it direct from the 
list here, and kmail usually just does it right if I don't linger on 
the click for reply too long.  It brings up a how do you want to do 
this after about 1 second.

Here, I suck mail from vz's server with fetchmail, and its MDA is set to 
procmail, procmail runs it by spamassassin and stuffs it 
into /var/spool/mail/user, then kmail gets it from there to its local 
boxes sorting them as it moves them.  Quasi-complex, but it takes the 
mail fetching time away from kmail, which is not well threaded & hangs 
if the far end is slow.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
