... it's slow on the client side because your client is not sorting |
| 15 |
things on the server. It's getting the message, processing it, putting |
| 16 |
it into a new folder, etc. I do server side filtering with maildrop and |
| 17 |
it works great. Now, I only sort *my* mail. Not one single user has |
| 18 |
requested a server-side filter for anything more complex than "put |
| 19 |
anything with "*SPAM*" into the Spam folder, please!" |
