The primary reason I use procmail to do splitting is that it happens
*before* I download mail.  Most importantly, it does 2 things:

1) it means I only check the mail boxes (and mail) that I want to
   check when I'm not on my local network directly connected to the
   server.  When I'm 1/3rd the way around the world, I don't read all
   my mail.  Only the important stuff.

2) It allows me to use other mail readers as well with the same
   filtering.  granted I don't do this that much, but when I do I'm
   certainly happy that its been presorted already.
