With imap its always better if you do the filtering at server side rather than 
client side, that way you don't have to re setup your filters for each client 
and simplifies the process of connection from multiple sites. Also its much 
more efficient - with client side filter the client has to down load the msg, 
process it and upload the changes to the server.

Most imap servers have a facility for creating server side filters - what is 
you imap server? who is hosting it?

A server side scripting language and protocol - not many clients (kmail does) 
or servers support it. Not simple or casual to use, but very powerful.
