Hi Chuck, I would love to write a patch for this, but it will conflict
with the way Sive filtering works.
I know there is no official Sieve backend currently nor is the filters
backend configuration modularized so one can plugin another filtering
delegate.

The only filtering method which is available is client-side (IMP being
the client).
Adding this feature on this method will work, but wont work on the
server-side methods (Sieve etc)
Ofcoarse, one can have higher priority mails filed in the multiple
folders example
if mail to cvs@lists.horde.org {
	fileinto INBOX.MailingList.Horde.cvs
}
if mail to dev@lists.horde.org {
	fileinto INBOX.MailingList.Horde.cvs
	fileinto INBOX
}

the rules are in hypothetical-language :)
the second rule should put a copy in two folders

but thats a bit yukky , imagine someone send you 5 mb file.
It takes 10MB of your quota on the IMAP server :)



thoughts?
