Why can evo notice that there is new mail in INBOX then at all? Without
looking at it? If it can notice this, than it can also (temporarily)
switch over to INBOX, do the filtering, and switch back to "My Folder".

I would like to use sieve, but then I think evo should automatically use
sieve for storing it's filter rules or at least there should be some UI
for it. Server side filtering is of course the best option in every
respect.
