filtering in kmail (IMAP)

Is it possible to filter IMAP messages in kmail?  I know
filtering works for 
pop3 but I don't believe it will work on IMAP mailboxes
except perhaps if it 
is done manually.  I would like to have it done
automatically when mail is 
received (when kmail is opened) and have the suspect spams
either deleted or 
put in the SPAM folder.

I keep getting spams with certain words in the subject,
frequently spams 
with "smallcap" or "small cap" in
the subject and I have tried to get 
maildrop to read a list of spam subjects in a file and
filter those emails 
but I have not succeeded.  Unfortunately some aspects of
maildrop are not 
well-documented and I don't know how to do that, so I want
to do it from 
kmail.  Spamassassin is not catching some of this trash.

The only way I know of to do this in maildrop is to have a
rule in 
~/.mailfilter but I would need to have a rule for each spam
subject and that 
is not efficient.

thanks

Which KMail version do you use? IIRC, KMail 1.9.x (maybe
even 1.8.x) support 
IMAP filtering.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the information.  I use Debian Sarge and on
another machine, Debian 
Etch.  Perhaps the version in Etch does filter for IMAP
mailboxes.

I checked the machine that runs Debian Etch and the version
of kmail is 1.8.3 
and it only supports POP3 filtering.

Perhaps I should stop using maildrop and go back to
Procmail.  I will have to 
find out if I can get Postfix to deliver mail as $user
rather than as root.

Another possibility is to use spamassassin. I installed that
after noticing 
menu entries for it in kmail, and lo and behold, kmail seems
to be able to 
manage the entire spamassassin operation.

I am already using Spamassassin and since I started
converting back to 
Procmail, fewer spams get through because I can write
recipes I do not know 
how to write (or whether it is possible to write them) for
Maildrop.  This 
morning, I found many spams in the spam folder and none got
past the filters, 
even the ones Spamassassin didn't catch.
