Hi all
Is it possible to configure Dovecot's sieve plugin to act on message arrival to folders, other than INBOX?
sieve is invoked by lda or lmtp not "as arrive in inbox"
I wish to move messages fetched by pop3 fetcher to special folder, or sort
if you use i.e getmail and maildir it may possible
look
I use mpop with a shell wrapper script. The fetcher is working on IMAP server side (not on user side, as usual). So, it is used to pull email from several POP3 servers to our IMAP server. The mail is stored in Maildir++ format. Yes, it is possible to configure fetcher to sort messages to folders by its own means, but I'd like to implement the mail sorting by means of Sieve filters. The user can easy configure filters in webmail interface, then it work with any IMAP client, because it is done on IMAP server side.
So, if sieve is invoked by lda, then, probably, I could invoke dovecot-lda from wrapper script on each mail after it is fetched? But then it will be copied to INBOX... -- Is it possible to specify the other folder to deliver to, to the deliver program?
outgoing mail to folders, specific
outgoing mail is smtp, with i.e imap copy to sent folder etc if you want other folders your imap client should do it
So, I can invoke Sieve interpreter from SMTP server, or process it via dovecot-lda, like in fetcher case?
try i.e
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/send-filter/?src=search
to their recipients.
Thanhs in advance,
i guess what you want in gneral ,is more advanced ( new ) handling of mail workflow at all, look at list archives for more info on some stuff you asked, some may work in the future with new features in imap and sieve, but meanwhile you have to workaround
I used such features with my old POP3 client (it was the good old PMMail in OS/2). But it worked on POP3 client side, with local folders. It seemed to be not very advanced, but I just got a case to implement the same with Dovecot and Exim :)

with getmail
[destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
But then it will be copied to INBOX... -- Is it possible to specify the other folder to deliver to,
to the deliver program?
the sieve filter invoked bx deliver does it, i.e rule
if header :contains ... fileinto :create "folder"
or whatever

in general ,i dont think so , there may be some workaround with server bcc_copy and i.e plus adressing with sieve then for "sent" mail
try i.e
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/send-filter/?src=search

your talking about different things, there is a lot you can do with allready downloaded mail or at "internal" mailservices which may not make sense in "online" mailservers
