OK, deleting is a problem and shared folders must be created on the
IMAP server, but they are tools (e.g. tdmuttcourier) to do this.
Same for deleting of folders...

??? What are you talking about?
Moving of messages inside an IMAP account is the same as for local
mailboxes. Mutt support Server-Side searches (must be supported by
the IMAP-Server)
Filtering is nut a MUA question but MDA like procmail and maildrop
since they are integrated in the server.
If not, I would not be very happy with my ISP <www.freenet.de>
which support asmtp, imaps, pop3 for free (20 MByte account and
for 2,30 Euro a 2500 MByte account)...
> set for a MUA to be called IMAP-enabled [1]. If Mutt can simulate
Filtering is THE JOB of the Mailserver receiving the messages.
I have not the time to wait some days for filtering if I was
for some weeks in Near-East like for 2 month...
IF you MUA must filter, I had 58.000 legitim messages in 6 weeks
plus more then 180.000 Spams...
How many Messages can kmail or Mozilla/Tbird handel per hour?
> these actions by employing other tools, like procmail and bogofilter,
mutt does NOT employ procmail or bogofilter, since this are
tools on the server side and have NOTHING to do with a MUA.
> doesn't mean it can work with IMAP
What are you talkin about?
What are you smoking?
Can you GUI BS handel 20.000 Messages per day?
mutt can, because mutt must not do the stuff of a Server.
Imagine I get 20 times more spam on the E-mail I use here then
legetim messages which are around 350 per day. So, if your MUA
is filtering, THEN it MUST download 7350 Messages to get the 350
legetim messages...
Are you masochist?

And it does do stuf for which the IMAP server is responsable.

Read properly filtered Messages without ballast.
I have:
ext. IMAP-Account => fetchmail => procmail => courier-imap
/
/
courier-mta => -----
So where is the problem?

Maybe you go back to Windows?
Someone like you will never understood, why Unices are more
powerfull as Windows and all this GUI stuff which is only
there to make bad publicity (powered by M$) over the Unices
