I proposed something like this in the past, but it didn't catch much attention. For now, there's this: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6785 It could be used to create a magic folder that does the re-filtering when a message is moved to it. In any case, functionality like this is a prerequisite for implementing what you desire. Once this is implemented (there are plans, albeit not very concrete), we can propose a new extension.
