Hi,


I would like to implement a 43Folder system[1] with dovecot and a mail user agent.

Use case:

- I have a new mail in my inbox. I read it and see that I can't handle it now. I want to handle this mail in 5 days.
- Now I want to have some sort of resubmission: the mail should be moved to a different location for these 5 days.
- After 5 days the mail should be moved to my inbox again.

How can this be done with Dovecot/IMAP?

I have programming experience, but I am new to Dovecot/IMAP.

I would like solve this with Dovecot only (without a database or web server).

Does the IMAP protocol over methods which could help?
