Doesn't IMAP have commands to only grab headers and to re-file a msg?
If so, this shouldn't be all that difficult to implement with
procmail, since *most* filtering of e-mail is done on the headers.
Of course, I do wierd things like actually filter and sort based on
body content as well, which would then require tranferring the msg
from the server to the client for processing, then sending it back to
the server for filing. A lot of overhead, but if IMAP has a properly
designed interface, it should be doable.
