OK, while I briefly have a bit of your attention: what would you advise to use instead? What I need:

* Server-side filters.

* Tags. No, not folders. Many of my emails have 2-3 tags, some have 4-5. I wonder if it can even map to IMAP4; I see a few ways to model it.

* Good deliverability.

* Reasonable spam protection.

* Not hugely expensive. Ideally near-free, or self-hosted.

What are some options?



I've been spamming enough about Fastmail (just a happy user), it ticks all your boxes except near-free/self-hosted.

Re: tags, you can switch between classic folders or Gmail-style labels.

Re: filtering, it has an easy-to-use UI but you can write your own custom Sieve filtering rules if you want.


is there any FOSS based webmail and/or IMAP that supports tagging instead of folders?

i use supmua (which inspired notmuch) which like gmail uses tags instead of folders. i could not go back to a folder based system. but i am really missing a webmail interface that works with tags.

Why not both?
