With a single IMAP account, no rules or automatic filtering - or
*just* server-side filtering - yes, it's doable.

But the reason I stopped using it was the inconvenience of using
multiple devices.

Once I'd created my ~100 rules and ~80 folders on Gmail, well, I might
as well just keep using Gmail, it seemed to me.
