Filtering works fine with both POP and IMAP, with one major exception: AFAIK, filters only apply to new messages in the main inbox. That is, if you have set up rules on the webserver to move messages to other folders, those messages will be ignored by Seamonkey's filters. I have had a few dozen filters spread over a bunch of e-mail accounts, running the gamut from brain-deader-than-usual POP3 to standard POP and IMAP to Gmail and Yahoo IMAP-weirdness. Hotmail/Life/Outlook does not support IMAP so far ("We will get around to it eventually, sometime, hopefully before 2020, but Why would you want to use a widely-supported open protocol instead of our own proprietary one, which is supported only by a handful of mails clients other than our own crappy ones?"), so the times I had to deal with them, I had to use POP. There have been reports of problems with filtering in news (NNTP) accounts, however. I haven't tested to see the extent of the limitations. However, many filter actions like "delete" and "mark as spam" aren't available for newsgroups. It MIGHT be possible to use filters to do the things that are available in the right-click menu, but as I said, I didn't test it. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
