[liberationtech] automating email send/receive

Hi list,
     I'd like to set up a machine to automatically fetch emails from my yahoo account at some interval-- maybe once or twice a day, and then to send out any emails I happen to write at a similar interval.  In the outgoing emails, I want the time/date in headers to reflect the time the email is sent to Yahoo's smtp server, and not the time/date that I actually wrote it.

If possible, I'd also like to use a text client like Mutt or something so I can ssh over Tor into the box and check/send my email.  Is there some easy way to do this?  Would I use something like Postfix to handle the scheduling?  Or if ssh-over-Tor wasn't a requirement, is there a plugin to Thunderbird or Torbirdy to do this kind of thing?

Thanks,
Jonathan
