This way all your MUAs will benefit from the filtering. Some people (quite a few, in fact) don't have login access to the IMAP server. Most people can't install software on the IMAP server. So it's not always that easy to do classification on the server. Some people may want to classify IMAP mail into other (nnml, for instance) folders). That's tough if the IMAP server is not where you normally run Gnus. > The problem from the MUAs perspective is how to feedback > reclassifications to the server.

What exactly would you like moved to that special folder? I'm not sure how spam.el could help you for server-side splitting. Thanks Ted
