No. Can you cut cross-platform from your list of requirements if you can *use* the program on any internet-connected machine? Or perhaps you can give up on using exactly the same program everywhere. For example, I use dovecot to serve IMAP/SSL. That's a central storage area, and thus a central place to filter. I can read via K9 on my phone, mutt on many machines, and Thunderbird when for some reason I want that. By redefining my mail ego to be the mail store rather than the user program, I gain great advantage. I recognize that might not be what you want, but I advocate it for anyone who is serious about mail as a form of communication. -dsr-
