You wouldn't. However, your 3rd party imap provider won't know
your local rules. RPF is a way to communicate your local rules
to your 3rd party imap provider. Another way would be for the
imap provider to create a web application allowing you to login
and enter your rules. However, RPF is much simpler to implement.
