Another nice feature is that I now have the possibility to have my
filters on the server copy/move the message to a IMAP folder and it will be
automatically tagged in Sup as well.

Some servers automatically delete stuff in Trash / Deleted Items or
email marked as Trash (T), these will also be removed from Sup when they
are deleted (might not work when it is in several folders and only
marked with T).
