Actually, with IMAP mail servers the mail stays on the server, even with
sub-folders. The headers are then retrieved by the computer, and if the
message wants to be read, that is retrieved. This is a nice way to have
access to all your email, without worrying about one email program
grabbing messages. Now the very fact that everything is contained on
the server should allow me to filter the messages, but, on mac.com I do
not know how to set this up.
