Yes, it is IMAP.

AH!

Trying now.

incoming-folders=...
      "imap Gmx L"  {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=myname at gmx.es/loser}INBOX,


Yes, the filter runs significantly slower, but it runs. Opening the folder 
seems as fast as always.

I was contemplating as alternative doing the filtering in Thunderbird, 
where all the messages are cached in local disk,

Huh, sorting by threads (K D) is very slow now (the folder has 3200 posts 
or so). Minutes.

Ok, I may then define the inbox twice, one using "loser", and another not. 
One for using the filter, and another for normal use.

Another alternative could be using "imapsync" /somehow/. I haven't yet 
though out how.


Interesting. I have now:

incoming-folders="...
         "imap Gmx L"  {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=me at gmx.es}INBOX,
...
         "imap F Gmx L"  {imap.gmx.com/tls/user=me at gmx.es/loser}INBOX,


And the sorting by threads on the second one is fast.


Wait, things are strange and interesting.


If I restart Alpine, then open first "imap Gmx L" and later "imap F Gmx 
L", sorting is fast, and filtering fails. On both folders, subsequently.

If then I exit Alpine, then open first "imap F Gmx L" (the loser version), 
then sorting is slow and filtering works. On both folders, subsequently

It seems Alpine merges the second used configuration of the folder.



I then should create a second Alpine instance, with different 
configuration file, to use the filter. Do you know if this is possible?
