Ah, lucky me. :-)

That was one thought I had myself too.  I get this with all folders, including 
the Inbox.

I could, yes. But here is the thing: One advantage of this setup is I can 
pretty much switch my MUA in an instant (not quite that fast, but still) and 
have everything available since it is nicely abstracted away.

So having the filters in Kmail is not really an option -- not alone due to 
this reason but it is an important one.

Right now I am really considering going back to TB. It is a pity. But after 
trying quite a few things, I cannot figure this one out... and I pretty much 
had it with the folder syncing. :-(

Thanks for your input though. It is very much appreciated!

So long,
Matthias
