Is there a way of putting mail in seperate mailboxes?  without
using something like procmail?  In elm this is possible, using the
filter command.

	With Pine you can use the same filter command and filter-rules
file in the $HOME/.elm -directory as you would use with Elm.

	You could use "filter" from the elm distribution since "filter",
like "procmail", is not tied to a particular UA.  At first glance
procmail seems more difficult to use.....but it is much more flexible
and it is time well spent learning how to use it.

What can you do if your inbox is accessable only via IMAP?  Filter and 
Procmail require access to the mail spool file, as far as I know.  Are there 
any mail filtering tools which use IMAP for getting the mail?
