I have been told that the trick is to do server side filtering on
incoming mail. I don't however think this will fix my problems. This
leaves me to believe that after this many years of IMAP being in use and
it is still at this level of lameness, that I should return to using
pop3 and create something with cron and rsync to make my mail archive
procmail
maildrop
sieve
... it's slow on the client side because your client is not sorting
things on the server. It's getting the message, processing it, putting
it into a new folder, etc. I do server side filtering with maildrop and
it works great. Now, I only sort *my* mail. Not one single user has
requested a server-side filter for anything more complex than "put
anything with "*SPAM*" into the Spam folder, please!"
