In bookworm I had the following setup working like perfection:
- All mail is sorted to some mailbox folder through sieve (either a "specialized" one, or a generic folder under the inbox name like year.month - 2025.08).
- No email whatsoever was ever reaching the inbox.
- Then I had a virtual inbox which would get me all the "unread" or "flagged" messages
This way I had all my email sorted out from the delivery and my inbox cleared itself once I had read an email. This seems like a really cool setup.
Just out of curiosity, what does your dovecot-virtual look like?
If I try with the following, Dovecot (2.4.1) lists a few random mails (some unread, but mostly read):
- -Trash -Trash/* -Junk -Junk/* -Sent -Sent/* NOT KEYWORD \Seen
Thank you,
Ákos
