Thanks, Sebastian.
I just tried this, but it is working too well.
If I want to import emails from another Sent folder, using drag & drop from my email client, the emails are deleted in the background.
This is why I am trying to use the duplicate filter.
Kind regards, André Rodier

I have a sieve filter called "sent.sieve"
Where I just do this: discard;
Then in sieve settings:
plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_execute_bin_dir = /usr/bin/ imapsieve_mailbox2_name = Sent imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = APPEND imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/sent.sieve imapsieve_expunge_discarded=yes }
And then in Exim4 SMTP server:
sentfolder.filter: if $sender_address_domain is sebbe.eu then unseen save /var/mail/asterisk2/Sent endif
in exim4 config: system_filter = /etc/exim4/sentfolder.filter system_filter_file_transport = sentfolder
in transports of exim4.conf:
sentfolder: debug_print = "T: Sentfolder for $local_part@$domain" headers_add = Status: RO headers_remove = x-dkim-signature headers_remove = x-spf-signature headers_remove = x-trusted-domain headers_remove = keywords headers_remove = x-priority headers_remove = x-status driver = appendfile delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add use_flock_lock = yes use_fcntl_lock = no use_lockfile = no group = mail mode = 0777 mode_fail_narrower = false current_directory = /
that should solve it.

Hello,
I have a webmail program, that I cannot configure to not save sent emails in the Sent folder. My emails to the SOGo team don't seem to reach the mailing list anymore.
So, I have no other choice to think the problem differently, and _maybe_ use Dovecot to fix this issue. Moreover, I think this could be useful for other email clients.
First, I have tried to use Sieve, but no success so far:
imapsieve_mailbox4_name = * imapsieve_mailbox4_from = Sent imapsieve_mailbox4_causes = APPEND, COPY imapsieve_mailbox4_after = file:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/sent- checks.sieve
And this sieve script:
Message-ID header. require [ "variables", "environment", "duplicate", "imapsieve" ];
[…]
if duplicate :seconds 10 { discard; }
Otherwise, can I configure dovecot in a certain way, for instance create a virtual Sent folder. This would not save the email when appended, but still returns the list of sent emails ?
But this is not working. Any idea?
Thanks for your help!
André
