  IMO it's generally better to have filtering independent from MUA -
that way you can change your MUAs anytime (even more so when you use
IMAP instead of just files for mailboxes).

  procmail is THE one, when you use cyrus imap server you probably want
to use sieve for filtering (that's what I plan to do, I already use
cyrus)
