That's why IMAP was created in the first place. To make sync easy.
Such    things  as filtering, automatic replies (which is just another
filter),   labels  or  even  folder  subscription   is   server   side
feature  and on proper IMAP server is handled there. What The Bat! could do
is be good IMAP client for example by supporting filtering or labeling
extensions on the server. I'm  not  sure if there
is a mechanism  for  the  client  to  get  changes  about  folders  in  any
convenient way though.
