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.
