Those provide the suggested settings one should use when using a fast
vs slow connection. However, you don't have to use them. :)

In the mail management setup for the account properties, do you have
the 'autoconnect to server' options checked for all those options. In
this way, when you do anything with an IMAP folder, a sync operation
is done to update the server?

I've been wondering about this. From what I've been seeing, it would
seem that creating a root folder for an IMAP account leads to a
corresponding IMAP folder being created at the server level.
But then again, I only create folders at home and I do full sync's
with all folders at home. Maybe this is why corresponding server side
folders are being created. I'll do some testing later.

Stick a pin! :)
Now, I didn't realize that you're trying to filter from an IMAP folder
to a common folder. I've never tried this and will try this later.
Have you tried auto-filtering to another IMAP folder? I do that a lot
and it works.
TB! doesn't filter across IMAP accounts and may very well not filter
to common folders. Can you manually filter from the IMAP INBOX to a
common folder?

Perhaps not now, when the facility for auto-filtering to common folders
hasn't been dealt with.

I have bad news. When they're moved, they lose their colour change. :/
This problem is known and ways to get around this is being looked at.

They will work. However, the filtering can only be done to server side
folders and not your local common folders.

It's great for me.

No prob. :)
