A very interesting thread, as this is almost exactly the position I am
in. I'm somewhat fortunate in that my mailserver runs pop and
imap. 

Looks to me as though if I were to use imap, I would have to do
it as if it were pop, because I rely heavily on my nnmail-splitting.

I used to use procmail to split mail, but converted the rules to gnus,
as I preferred to keep it all within xemacs in case one day I find
myself with a windows desktop. Also I would prefer a solution that
didn't require me to have access to the mailserver to setup procmail spliting.
