I am not an IMAP user because I have developed a system of POP
management that works well for me. However, in following the IMAP
threads for many months one thing seems incongruous to me and may
help explain some of the various levels of success.

It seems to me that server-side filtering should be the primary method
of filtering and only client-side sub-filtering when truly necessary.
If all the filtering is done on the client one of the major advantages
of IMAP is ignored. Server-side filtering _has_ to be much more
efficient. Since IMAP adds another management layer it becomes real
important to understand and properly implement the filters on both
sides. Your approach to this seems the most logical to me.
