Well as I can't answer to all of you, just a quick thanks to all of you who have answered to this thread :) AFAIK, this is still 50%-50% and even with some good explanations, I still can't imagine myself trying to use an external tool to split my mails. For sure it depends on the conditions use. For my part, I am really happy with all the gnus split thinggies and won't change that for a while :) Just by curiosity, I have read a few messages talking about sieve, what is that ??
