Yeah, that's annoying. I keep thinking about writing a sort of a virtual
IMAP server that sits between you and a real server, which does the
same kind of sieve filtering dovecot does before it shows you the
mail. Shouldn't take more than another 20 years for me to get
a big enough round-tuit to get it done :-).
