Well, I think last time I tested courier was last Spring, so if I get
time I'll test it again and see if the problems I had before have been
resolved. It's too bad Courier doesn't support SIEVE :o( Oh well.

Forgive my ignorance but what is SIEVE?
It's a scripting thing, you can do a lot of things with it, but it's
main use is server-side filtering of e-mails. Currently with any other
IMAP server, say you have some folders, and you want to filter some
mails into the different folders. You do your filter in Mozilla Mail,
and then don't get run when you use SquirrelMail (webmail), or vice
versa. SIEVE does all the filtering when the messages are delivered on
the server (rather than when you check your mail), so it's consistent
across all IMAP clients, and also there are nice GUI and web-based tools
for configuring SIEVE filters.
