I have a big e-mail box over at my provider. I receive a lot of e-mail every day (over 100), which are distributed into different imap-folders by thunderbird. The problem is that thunderbird must be running (offcourse) to be able to it's job. And for thunderbird to run, my (home)computer must be running.
I used to use maildrop on the IMAP server I administered. It worked well and syntax was easy to follow, but since it involves changing the local mail delivery agent at your provider might not be an option.
Gmail recently added imap. You might try an account there to see if their filtering/folders work the way you like. I'm still using pop with fetchmail to pull the mail to an imap server that I control so I haven't really worked with this myself yet but I'll switch to direct imap if it works well. You can always forward your other account(s) there.
