I went to define a flter in Kmail; I turned on Seive support. The help 
explicitly  says it does not support imap filtering.

For me to use filtering, I have to have a means of configuring it and I don't 
see how to do that.

I'm running Nahant so there's not great likelihood of a new version in the 
near future.

Thuunderbird does filter (it does it itself) well enough to sort mail into 
diverse folders. It's not in nahant-1 tho.

evolution's got the sulks, doesn't start any more. I'm in great shape;-)
