Use offlineimap everywhere? No. Just because I think filtering belongs in the client doesn't mean I preclude it from anywhere else, and here's the key phrase, if there is a compelling reason for it to be elsewhere. Like, for example, IMAP. But in a client that works with POP it seems foolish to require 5 packages to do the work of 1. > I do it by hosting the mail on a headless box in the house, that provides > IMAP But unlike many people I acknowledge that mail clients can be used in a variety of manners. Just because I no longer have use of POP now doesn't mean that I won't in the future nor that anyone else does not have a need. I did, for a time, have use of a POP client as at my previous job I worked from home and they didn't have IMAP installed. I wasn't about to mix work mail through my home server, either incoming or outgoing. As a result my client's POP pulling and filtering were quite useful. -- Steve C.
