Hi
I have a Nokia 770 which is a pocket sized Linux Wifi 800x600 tool.
I can easily search for and connect to WiFi hotspots and then look at email in my home system (running Dovecot/Postfix).
This tool would work better if Dovecot would show only a subset of the mail messages sitting in my home system (I only delete spam..). Something like a sliding window that would show messages younger than a week old (configurable slider horizon).
Is this a reasonable feature? Can it be done by just configuring the existing system differently?
There are probably many users who access their mail with several different systems during a day or week. A handy/cell phone with email, or a pocket pda would have the same storage/access limitations as the Nokia and their users would benefit from the same feature.
Sincerely,

That really sounds like an MUA function. Dovecot is just a IMAP/POP server; any filtering or limiting is either done at delivery (via sieve, procmail, etc) or by the client after retrieval.
