[MlMt] Does MailMate mirror everything back to the server?

I use a helper smart folder (which I never use to view mails) just to 
move mails >180 days to the archive folder (on the IMAP):


Mailboxes
    INBOX
    Send
Conditions
    <Date> <is not within last> 180 <days>
Rules
    <move to mailbox> <Archive>


Additionally I have set my Archive folder to generate subfolders by Date 
 > Year.

Maybe this is an option for you?


If you want do give IMAP another try, consider to let the IMAP do all 
static filtering for you as all your clients will benefit from it. The 
180-day-to-archive-move is currently for me the only exception as my 
IMAP has no (easy) way to do it for me. Maybe I'll try it via SIEVE if I 
can find spare time.
