It works wunnerfully with pop. This is best directed at one of the KDE mailling lists, but from the FAQ=20 posted at http://docs.kde.org/en/3.2/kdepim/kmail/faq.html 6.1.=20 Why are my filters not applied to incoming messages of IMAP accounts? Because KMail currently does not support this. You should use server-side=20 filtering (ask your admin for how to install filters on the server and in=20 which format), since IMAP is all about managing your email on the server.=20 Unfortunately, although there exists a mail filter language (Sieve, defined= =20 in RFC3028), there is no standardized access protocol for installing or=20 editing server-side Sieve scripts.

There is a kio slave to upload Sieve scripts to the server, but you still h= ave=20 to have access to enable the script.
