[Dovecot] Mail filters in incoming message
With my iMap client, I use various mail rules to move specific email to the right mail folders. Downside of that is that is this mailclient is not online, all email is stuck in my inbox, which makes reading email by mobile phone kind of chaotic.
I have seen several Pigeonhole Sieve examples, but I would like to know if there is a nub solution (I am not a programmer) to run filters when they enter my mail server (Postfix 2.10.2,1 icw Dovecot 1.2.17) or if there is a user friendly GUI available to set these filters? Perhaps Anyone interested to create such a GUI?
Best regards, Jos Chrispijn

I believe their is a plugin for thunderbird (spit) that allows you to edit the server-side sieve rules.

which does not change anything in the fact you need to know how to write sieve rules as you clearly can see on the screenshots https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/sieve/
it only verfies if the server would accept your script and it does not work with TB >= 24 here
it's more or less impossible to write a human frriendly GUI for sieve except you restrict anything to a very limited set

Well, yes, but it seemed like the OP had example scripts to get started, but more needed help enabling them. It seemed that was a possible solution. (NB: I don't use ThunderBird myself, I only know the plugin exists).

Ah, so TB has also moved to the mozilla-stupid versioning scheme? Laste version I used was 3.x

There are several guis implemented in webmail applications, f.i. roundcube and modoboa. I'm not aware of standalone sieve guis, but I never searched for them. The webmail stuff should work fine when you want to do simple sieve stuff, but if you want to use the awesome stuff, you'll to learn the sieve language ;)
Sieve is no programming language, and quite clear about which commands do what: when you get a feel for it, you can read a script and tell directly what it does.
You could just start with a gui and learn from that. I find the error messages in the Thunderbird Sieve plugin very useful when writing new rules.
