I do. Heavily. That's the reason i'd like MM to handle many* open (IDLE) 
connections well, but MM keeps crashing on me. Daily, no, hourly :(

There's a very good ManageSieve (that's the protocol to remotely handle 
Sieve rules) plugin for Thunderbird and the IMAP server Dovecot comes 
with Sieve and ManageSieve support almost out-of-the-box.

And since i'm using multiple MUAs on my mailboxes (Thunderbird, TheBat!, 
iOS, MM) server-side filtering is the only sane way to handle filtering.


I really hope those crashes will be under control someday...
