Not necessarily. IMAPFilter filters the mail on the server. There's a
bunch of options on how to run it but I prefer to call it in my
OfflineIMAP rc file before grabbing the mail. So it's sorted then
downloaded. You can also filter account1<->account2 which is where I
feel that project really shines.

Yeah. I'm finding that timing is crucial when applying the "one app for
one task" style that you mention in your guide. Still though, I really
don't think I could go back to simply using an MUA to handle everything.
So for a certain crowd, there really is no other way. It's just a matter
of choice to get the proper setup to suite your needs.
