ISTM that the right way to do this is to implement Sieve in the MTA, so it filters messages as they are received. That would allow mail to be processed in the same way, independent of whether you were viewing it via IMAP, webmail, POP3, or any other mechanism (and also for sieve to do things like vacation autoreplies when you're not checking your mail) > There is a new Sieve > extension for Thunderbird I'd like to use, at http://sieve.mozdev.org/ Hmm, at a first glance this looks like an implementation of the "managesieve" protocol, which I last saw as an internet-draft. It's like a kind of mini-FTP for uploading sieve scripts to your mail server. I think this is confirmed by the presence of the sieve draft in the CVS repository: http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/sieve/src/docs/draft-martin-managesieve-06.txt?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup That's fine: you need a suitable daemon at the server side for accepting the scripts and putting them into the appropriate place for the MTA to find them. Google for "managesieve" to get some pointers. As for sieve implementations for MTAs, I know that exim has one built-in. No doubt there are others.
