preferred method of using imap/mutt

[Cameron Matheson <cameron.matheson@fjcomm.com>]

Hi,

I've been using mutt happily w/ my POP email account for a good long 
while now, but i'm switching over to an IMAP server.  I've been using 
thunderbird (which is cool, but it's eating up sooo much RAM), and i 
would like to go back to mutt.  Reading through the muttrc manpage, it 
seems that mutt has IMAP functionality built in, but i could not get a 
clear picture of whether or not it will do what i want.  This is what i 
would like to happen:

1. mutt opens up the mail on the imap server
2. mutt filters the mail into folders based on certian rules (mailing 
lists, etc.)
3. mutt keeps all mail on server

w/ the POP of course i had to download the mail, so i used procmail for 
the filtering.  Is what i'm wanting to do even possible (i know it is w/ 
thunderbird, etc.).  How are the folks on this list doing it?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
