The entire downside of implementing filters in a webmail is that the
user has to log into the webmail. So for example an autoresponder is
pretty useless - unless you set up a script and crontab it to login
for you but that defeats the entire purpose of "easy to use".

IMO - I'd welcome an interface for server-side filters. It has to be
very abstract, because some IMAPDs have filters build in, others use
maildrop or/and procmail to achieve the same. So an interface would
need to be configurable (through a config file) and then people can
build filters.
