Yahoo! POP and Filters -- Why are filtered messages not included in POP email delivery?
I did find this question posted before, and the answer given was insufficient. The answer stated that filters were client specific, and don't translate from web-mail to an email client. No kidding. The "best answer" missed the point.
The problem is why do messages filtered not forward, and only messages that physically land in the inbox do. Shouldn't all messages be delivered to POP and Webmail, and *then* the various programs go to work filtering the messages they receive. It is almost like the Yahoo (web) filtering happens at the wrong point in the process, which means I get to choose between an organized web-mail environment, or manually hand-delivering folders worth of emails to my POP client (and for that matter my blackberry).
Anyone have an idea?
