Fwiw, I don't know that is a fact. Webmail is merely an interface, popular webmail apps such as roundcube, SOGo, squirrelmail or zimbra all offer server-side filtering with sieve.
I just had a look at my ISP offering. There is no "filter" menu. However, there is a context menu when opening an email, and on it, there is create filter. I tried it on the test list. Result: - The filter creates two copies of the email onto INBOX/test - I can no longer edit the filter, it is lost from view. I can not adjust it. - Thunderbird does not show it under INBOX, but in another part altogether, with no indication that there are new mails there. I would have to create dozens of rules, which would hide emails from view, making more difficult to find them, not easier, because Thunderbird does not show them under INBOX/subfolder (the operation ISP does is "archive", not "move"). Neither does Alpine, I would have to define also dozens of subfolders views, and repeat the task on each of my computers and partitions. And, I would have to create/maintain those filters at ISP, then repeat the work on procmail on every computer - because the ISP storage is just 2GB, I have to eventually download emails to local. And the download operation gets more complex, having to download from several folders. No, this is a nightmare and much more work for me. I will keep all emails in the single INBOX as always, and we will have to assume that I will make mistakes confusing one mail list with another, and that I will miss emails, even those directly addressed to me. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
