Have never used colors, but can say that filtering in IMAP is very similar to filtering for POP. When mail is sitting in the inbox unread, it will apply incoming filters as soon as that folder is opened. I'm not currently using any read mail filters but don't see how they would even know whether they were operating on IMAP or POP mail. The problem with filtering incoming mail locally for IMAP is that you only filter mail when operating at that location and need to create same filters everywhere or wait until that client filters. -- Dwight A.
