[Dovecot] virtualfolders all mails minus duplicates

19 Feb 2014


      Hello everyone,
i'm trying to mess up a bit with virtual folders and i'm trying to
perform something like this:
i'd like to create an IMAP virtual folder which shows me all the emails
in in INBOX and subfolders but by removing "duplicates"
what i mean as duplicates? simply i can recognize duplicate emails as
the ones with the same message-id in the header (this was just an idea).
in that way if i have a message which is present in more then one folder
then it's displayed only once.
i considered the idea of using message-id in the header as a criteria,
but i don't know if this can be done in this way or in any way at all.
any suggestion is really welcome.
i'm using dovecot 1.2.15.
this is a namespace example just for reference:
for INBOX:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
#subscriptions = yes
#list = no
inbox = yes
}
for virtuals:
namespace private {
prefix = v.
separator = .
location = virtual:/var/utenti/%Ld/%n/VirtualFolders
list = yes
inbox = no
subscriptions = yes
hidden = no
}
as of now i'm running a virtualfolder which shows messages flagged as
important which is done like this:
INBOX
INBOX.*
all flagged
hope you can provide me with some hints.
Thanks very much
Francesco
