Actually...I do have my local mailbox filtered (procmail) ... or when using 
kmail (sorry all) by it's own filters(mostly because of the way it handles 
indexes)

Anyway... It is VERY important to be able to filter your mailbox, which in 
some cases is an IMAP account....This way all of those list subscriptions can 
be filtered to sub folders (either locally or on the imap server) when the 
imap account is accessed...
