AFAICR, there has been a request for IMAP server-side filtering on the
Courier list (maybe I'm completely wrong and this was on the Cyrus list,
can't be bothered to check :( Don't know if this is covered in any rfc,
nor whether other IMAP implementations would have it (ditto), but it
seems a very good idea to me. Installing client filtering in Evo 1.4.5
and Mozilla >= 1.4 is easy, but it's a real chore in SquirrelMail 1.4.2
which has no point and click. Doing it once and for all for all clients
would be a blessing, just as shared directories is.

A good 2004 to all!
