If you have a suitable server where you can park your IMAP folders you can get the best of everything by using fetchmail to grab mail via POP from gmail and deliver to your local IMAP folders. This gives you a chance to filter with procmail on the way in and your email client(s) can manipulate the folders quickly. If you configure gmail to 'archive' a copy as you download with POP, you can delete your local copy after reading it but still go back with gmail's web interface and find it with their excellent search facility later.
Les: Awhile ago, I spent a few minutes looking into SME Server. I may Burn that to a CD and try to configure my backup firewall/router box (now IPCop) as SME Server. SME Server seems to have a lot to offer, but I did notice one comment here about Proprietary stuff. Hopefully, the Proprietary stuff wouldn't be a problem for my use. Lanny
