Hi,
I'm currently restructuring my mail archives and migrated from a decade and a half old procmail supported solution to sieve.
While doing so I often found that I'd like to filter a bunch of messages (with "bunch" in the area of 1-10K) with my shiny new sieve script. I found in the wiki a way to do that:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail
And it works well, it picks the mails via IMAP and resubmits them to dovecot-lda. But unfortunately the IMAP flags including \Sent, \Flagged etc are lost in the process.
I started checking for other solutions beside getmail that might extract the imap flags as well, but I wouldn't know how to pass them to dovecot-lda.
Would it help to use sieve capabilities to add flags?

Would it make sense to suggest to have dovecot offer this kind of reprocessing itself? That way nothing would get lost in any transition.
