When I switched from Google to self-hosted email, I switched from client-side split to server-side SIEVE. It just seemed a bit silly to be creating all that extra network traffic. The only thing I regret a tiny bit is automatic splitting based on BBDB "imap" fields. Everything else I had to write by hand anyway, and while it's definitely more of a pain to do it in SIEVE, it's usually a one-time pain. Emacs comes with a sieve.el package that can interact with a dovecot sieve server. I tried it once without reading the documentation, screwed it up, and didn't bother going back and doing it right. I'm sure it works just fine, if you actually learn to use it :) E
