Hi there! i installed and configured dovecot with management-sieve and sieve plugin on my server. I'm trying to apply filters to existing mail (not just the incoming one) but it doesn't work...

Can i do it??

In short: No, you can't.

The sieve plugin is a plugin for the LDA. So it's used only when deliver stores a message. But the TODO for sieve for Dovecot v2.0 contains: * Implement IMAP plugin for IMAPSieve support http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-sieve/file/7becf4ce553c/TODO#l86

There is a page on the dovecot wiki [1] about refiltering of mails. This solution is not exactly what you requested but maybe it helps.

Kind regards,

Fabian
