Sorry for the replay to sender instead of the list. As I originally wrote, my need is script or a command like the old Expire_mail.pl that parse a local mbox folder and move/copy mail older than NN days to another local mbox folder. Probably for a Perl programmer is only matter of modify this script or something similar. I searched in docs, wiki, ... but not noticied something that can simply be inserted in a cron job to do the work. Only migration tools or complex (for me), library that can be used to manipulate folders :-) Thanks, F.

[Pigeonhole Sieve interpreter] :create argument and lda_mailbox_autosubscribe setting
by Vivien Lacourba 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi, I am using dovecot and dovecot-sieve packages from Debian Wheezy (2.1.7-7+deb7u1). I noticed that while using ":create" (from the mailbox extension) in my Sieve filter and "lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes" in Dovecot's LDA config it automatically subscribes to the destination mailbox even if that mailbox already existed. Reading Dovecot's documentation and the mailbox extension RFC it seems subscription should happen only if it is a newly created mailbox and should not happen if the mailbox already existed. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5490#section-3.2 [[ 3.2. ":create" Argument to "fileinto" Command (...) If the mailbox already exists, this argument is ignored. (...) ]] /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf [[ # Should automatically created mailboxes be also automatically subscribed? lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes ]] Also I noticed that if I don't use ":create" in my filters and instead set "lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes" in Dovecot's LDA config, then this time the behavior looks correct as the automatic subscription will only happen for a newly created mailbox.

Larry & Pascal, Thanks for the reply. Ok this is the lib for sieve, and the sieved, I see in debian packages that there is a dovecot-managesieved, the daemon, does this pigeonhole is the daemon also? > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Rosenman [mailto:larryrtx@gmail.com] > Sent: segunda-feira, 13 de Outubro de 2014 20:12 > To: Jorge Bastos > Subject: Re: Compile dovecot with sieve/managesieve support > > look at pigeonhole.

Hi guys, I'd like to have dovecot with sieve support, but can't find any information on how to enable the sieve/managesieve support. Does anyone can light me up on this? Thanks,
