Indeed.

My mail flow goes: suck from my mail server with POP, file locally, 
forward important messages to my "for my phone" IMAP accessable account.  
My filing rules do that automatically for certain things and my mutt 
settings do it for: any message to which I reply (original and reply 
forwarded) and any message I flag (flags the messages, forwards a copy 
to the phone). And when I say "forward" I mean "bounce" in mutt terms.
