Hi, I'm using dovecot as IMAP server. I access my mails trough Mail (Mac client), iPhone and webmail. In Mail I use a smartbox that shows all my unread messages, no matter where it is. I really want this feature at my iPhone, so I'm thinking about developing a plugin that will create the smart unread box and follow these rules:
- Every new mail arrived, it will create a hard link to directory .smart.unread (in case of Maildir);
- Every mark as unread, it will create a hard link;
- Every mark as read, it will remove the hard link;
- Every mail delete, it will remove all files with same inode.
This way, a smartbox with all unread messages will be available into webmail, iPhone and every IMAP client.
What do you think about it? Is there a simple way? If it is a cool feature, I'll develop it and post the plugin here.
