I may be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere that IMAP supports
moving messages from one folder to another on the server, without
downloading? And since you can (presumably) also just retrieve
headers from messages, it should be possible to write a remote IMAP
filtering tool. Now, doing the same with POP, that's probably
impossible.
