Hi,

I would like to implement a 43Folder system[1] with dovecot and a mail user agent.

Use case:

• I have a new mail in my inbox. I read it and see that I can't handle it now. I want to handle this mail in 5 days. - Now I want to have some sort of resubmission: the mail should be moved to a different location for these 5 days. - After 5 days the mail should be moved to my inbox again.

How can this be done with Dovecot/IMAP?

I have programming experience, but I am new to Dovecot/IMAP.

I would like solve this with Dovecot only (without a database or web server).

Does the IMAP protocol over methods which could help?

Why don't you use a calendar application to put an event related to that mail? You can use the kolab approach ( IMAP only) for this.
