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.

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.
