To state it clear, it is not the job of a E-Mail client to filter something on a imap-server. You can contact with a lot of different clients an it is not a funny job to configure it always to the same filter. so use the filter, the imap server offers to you and your mail will be filtert regardles of the ability of your mailclient. So you can use sylpheed or mutt on a remote connection and mozilla, kmail or evolution on your local Unix connection and (for those who realy want) Outlook on a Windows system. Thas what IMAP is for. Martin PS: If your IMAP server doe not support filter, drop it and use either courier or cyrus. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ H E L I X Gesellschaft f�r Software & Engineering mbH ------------------------------------------------------------ Hanauer Landstrasse 52 Telefon (069) 4789 35-30 60314 Frankfurt am Main Telefax (069) 4789 35-44 ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.helix-gmbh.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------
