Sadly, the latter.

Thunderbird's implementation is just a hack.  Each client needs to have 
the same flagset defined in its profile.  It doesn't rewrite the message 
headers with, say, an X-Tagwords header with the actual words in them, 
only lookup values for the local configuration.

I haven't setup Horde yet, but I'm hopping it might offer some hope.  At 
least it supports sieve filters with a Web interface into them and 
writes Exim .forward files with sieve rulesets...

Fear my DKIM signature!
