I'm kind of confused about the difference getting to imap that way as
apposed to the Foreign-group method starting with `B'.

Is there any thing better about either, or are they basically the same?

Do you know any handy urls that show examples of SIEVE scripting?
The three main links for examples on:
 
   http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/sieve/index.html#scripts

Are all dead links... they really need to update there web page.

Is that an indication of a general sorry state of management there?  I
mean, do you see sloth, inattention and other kinds of baloney all
around, using your mail account? 

I ask because I'm thinking of getting that service... it is quite
cheap and seems to offer quite a lot for the money.  But if it's
mostly a big sorry fake out like a very lot of the stuff that one sees
online, I'd like to know that now...
