I will try another MUA, right after disabling pop3 access on this same account under the

I basically use filters for mailing lists sorting.  So the filters are of the form "if 
from, to, cc or bcc equals debian-user@lists.debian.org then move message to folder 
debian-user".

The tests I have to do will maybe span a few hours/days in order to verify if all is ok or 
not.  Stay tuned eventually.
