Ok

Netscape can.  Whether or not it's a good MUA is highly subjective :)
Pine can.  Whether or not it's a good MUA is also highly subjective :)
Dunno about anything else.

Actually you can use procmail (or whatever) to filter IMAP.  I use exim's
native filtering capabilities to sort my mail into various maildirs before
I use courier-imap to read my email with pine.

It's just a question of whether or not Cyrus IMAP has a mechanism to
filter email into various folders.
