Currently I use procmail to process my mail and move it to appropriate
maildirs (or /dev/null if it is spam) and I use IMAP (dovecot) to read my
mail with thunderbird when I'm at home or with squirrelmail when I'm
somewhere else.

I read http://www.entrian.com/sbwiki/HowToUseImapFilter but I still don't
know yet what the pros/cons are for the IMAP filter compared to the
sb_filter.

Can someone enlighten me?
