Could you provide clarification as to where you are proposing to store
this?  On the IMAP server itself?

This sound similar to sieve.

But it could also involve a <thing> that filed your mail for you (from
the client) but kept the mail on the server side.  In a pinch, I could
do this with duct tape, chicken-wire, and Perl, but this isn't a
turnkey solution... (-:

Given my druthers, I'd rather run my own server, but Paul's particular
situation left him few options.

No, but I got my procmail -> Maildir format -> Courier IMAP setup
running...I plan on posting a writeup soon.  (-:
