The last time I mentioned wanting to do something like this, what was recommended to me was procmail, which would sit between the upstream server and your mail client. I never investigated (my circumstances at the time didn't lend themselves to its being a practical solution), so I don't know what the mechanics of the whole thing would be or how the mail flow would look, but it could certainly do that type of filtering. It may not be ideally suited to use with IMAP, but Googling on 'procmail IMAP' (without quotes) finds a couple of hits which look like they might be decent leads - either on how to do it with procmail, or on possible alternative solutions. If you find a solid solution, please let me know, as I'd be interested in something like that myself; it's just never been important enough for me to make a project out of it. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
