Gmail is perfectly capable of being used by traditional e-mail clients like Thunderbird via IMAP. When this is done, I see mail in folders and threads. The filtering itself is done by the gmail server. You do have to use the web interface to set up the filtering, but once that is done Thunderbird works fabulously. The Gmail webmail interface displays threads in a fundamentally broken way, though. > > Thanks for the response.
