I wonder what it would take to have the filters run before the inbox is 
loaded?  And when doing the move, not put a filtered email in the inbox marked 
as deleted(no new mail notification unless you have it set-up to check that 
folder for new mail).  When I was using the imp filters I had 10+ different 
filters, it worked well except for all the marked as deleted emails in the 
inbox and the constant notification(until I turned it off).  I have since 
removed all the filters and use procmail at the server level to sort the mail-
it works much better for me anyway.
