I have implemented some server-side filtering, but there are still a
few things I'd like to have The Bat! filter.  However, I don't have
access to the server for some of my accounts (does gMail ring a
bell?).

I'm disappointed in Ritlabs.  One reason I have been using this
program for the past 5-6+ years was the frequent updates and support.
To have something as basic as the filtering only work in POP is very
disappointing.
