Re: preferred method of using imap/mutt
You're better off using something like sieve to filter mail into IMAP folders
on the server. This way you get to use other clients (webmail,
thunderbird, whatever)
and still keep your filters.
Most mail servers will have some way of sorting mail into folders as
it arrives,
check your docs.
