[Gllug] Mail sorting

[Richard]

Hi all,

The situation: fetchmail retrieves my email from an ISP's POP3 server 
and drops it into my machine where I read it using IMAP (netscape if 
anyone cares). I'm then sorting email into different server-side folders 
using the client.

This is quite ugly. I'd much prefer to do the sorting of messages on the 
(IMAP) server, without troubling the client software. The goal here is 
that every machine I use to look at my mail should see the same view, 
and I shouldn't have to duplicate my sorting rules on every client 
machine. I'm sure there's some clever thing I can do here, but I'm just 
not familiar with what the various tools do. I didn't set up the server 
either, but I can make changes to it.

Should I be looking at fiddling the IMAP server, or some "other" tool 
for this job?

Thanks people,

Richard
