I don't have access to the servers.  But it does sound like filtering mail on my IMAP account should work without manual intervention.  I think I've got things set up correctly but apparently I'm missing something.  I'm at a loss as to what to try next.

I'd really like to get it working since Evolution won't be a viable option if I have to run filters by hand.  Has anyone else been through this and figured out how to make it work?
