Forget K-Mail. It won't filter into imap folders. Go with either



Mozilla




Mail, or Evolution. Either one does an excelent job of filtering into
imapp folders. I use this set up myself, so that I can always get to



my




mail, from any client, anywhere, and ALL my mail is there. I got tired
of the POP thing a long time ago, when all my mail was on myh home
desktop, and I was traveling with a laptop. IMAP is the way to go.

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.

PS: If your IMAP server doe not support filter, drop it and use either 
courier or cyrus.





You can't possibly be suggesting to add filters directly into imap, for 
every user... If you had a system with 1000 users, and they had 20 
filters each... That's hardly practical. That is why it *IS* the job of 
the client to do it's filtering. If it cannot do it properly, find a 
client that will, there are plenty out there.



Alternativly, fetchmail will do the job, if you have the access to the 
server. But not everyone does. I do, but I run my own server. But for 
people getting their mail from their ISP, expecting imap on the server 
end to do your filtering is not reasonable.
