[MlMt] Nervous about integration with my smartphone

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

I'm in the unfortunate situation that my corporation currently only 
allow "push mail", meaning I cannot use any custom mail client on my 
phone - just the builtin ones. For me that is iphone mail client. Thus 
my options are limited. Thus I've for now adapted and have the following 
setup:

* redirect all my mail on the mailserver to go to '_inbox' (so my 
default inbox is empty)
* using imapfilter (https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter) to filter 
mails in _inbox into folders, anything unknown goes to _unsorted and 
stuff that is known but not in a list goes to _incoming
* on mailmate - a bunch of smartfolders letting me triage/walk through 
my mail, using Flag to indicate things I need to look at
* primary activity on phone - used for urgent responses in _incoming / 
_unsorted and then for flagging for further processing
* secondary on phone - since everything is sorted into folders I can go 
and find what I want on the phone ...

..oh and I also use web access if everything else fails and here sorted 
to folders helps too because...well, mail webui tends to suck so I like 
my folders ;)
