I don’t think so. The rules are adding modifications/filters to the actual app on the machine they inhabit.

Really. So why am I here, and why amn I on my fourth Macintosh computer? Because my wonderful and long-suffering wife is hip-deep into the Apple ecosystem with a phone, Mac and iPad, which means I, of course, am her first-line support. That said, here's my question. If mail rules are set up on one system--say, the computer, do those rules propagate to other Apple devices? For instance, if my wife uses the computer to retrieve mail in the morning and the rules are applied, then she picks up her iPad and retrieves more mail in the evening, does Apple Mail on the iPad act like there are no rules and dump everything into the Inbox, or do those rules set up on the computer get applied on the iPad? If the answer is that Mac Mail rules are global, my problem is easily solved--set up the folder filter rules on one system and they happen everywhere. On the other hand, if rules are not global, therefore not globally applied, I should really set them up on the mail server. So then, which is it? Set up filters and rules and such on one system and expect them to be global, or set them up on the front-end mail server where they really will be global before mail is even fetched?
