Applying filters to IMAP-inboxed automatically (in Kmail)?

maildrop

On my laptop I run postfix, and courier imap, fetchmail grabs all my mail from 
the server, delivers it to my local postfix which uses maildrop for local 
delivery agent, I have $HOME/.mailfilter setup to filter my mails into the 
correct Maildir folders.

I perfer having my local system be my mailserver because I have more 
flexability to run it the way I want to, rather than the way it's setup on 
whatever mailserver I happen to be downloading from, especially if the remote 
server doesn't support imap at all.
