Easy to say, a bit harder to do in my case. Procmail sorts the mail on the
server (based on the "To:" field), before it gets to my mailer. Much more
efficient for IMAP mail. My mailer just moves mail to the deleted mail
folder if I haven't read it in 30 days (or if its from David's) ;-)
However, filtering on the trailer is not a bad idea!!
