You can (and I do) make my own filters in gmail for e.g., this maillist,
which moves it into a folder and is reflected in IMAP as a folder.  In
addition, gmail has an orthogonal system they call categories that
auto-categorizes mail: inbox, social, updates, formus, promotions.  This is
not reflected into IMAP, all these categories are just INBOX.  This is my
problem, gmail auto-categorizing magic is just too useful but only
available through web I/F.  I _could_ write filters in theory, but gmail
magic is just so much better at it.
