[Q] nnimap / GMail / splitting

[Didier Verna <didier@xemacs.org>]

       Hello,

I'm considering using (for the first time) an nnimap secondary select
method to access my GMail account, and maybe gradually transferring most
of my mail traffic to GMail.

Am I correct in assuming that if I want to continue access my mail from
Gnus, and from time to time via the gmail web interface, I would have to
duplicate my split rules by hand ?

More precisely, please tell me if my interpretation of the situation
below is correct:

- nnimap splitting rules are local: you get individual mails moved to
  different group when Gnus is used to get new mail. The mails are moved
  around on the server, but if you get new mail via the web interface,
  it will just stay in your inbox (it won't be split automatically).

- GMail doesn't support Sieve, so there's no way to have my nnimap
  splitting rules transferred up to the server.

- So if I want my mail split on the server as well (when I use the web
  interface), every time I create or modify a splitting rule in Gnus,
  I'd have to duplicate it somehow by hand.

Thanks.
