It is not just up to maildrop (in this case) to filter into various folders, since it should be possible to create new "INBOX.Labels.newLabel" and filter existing emails... So somehow the control over this have to stay with the IMAP server or perhaps through an extension/plug-in type control interface to it?Thanks for your reply. I will settle for the fact that this is impossible for now. Perhaps IMAP will one day evolve a little :)
Sorry to be a party pooper, but I'd be shocked, juts shocked, if that ever happens. Overall, IMAP has been withering, and in decline, and I'd be surprised if the trend reverses.
The most that can be reasonably expected, generally, is developing non- standardized IMAP extensions that do something like this. But, for this to happen, you have to have a cooperating implementation on the client and the server side. And not just an IMAP server on the server side. The IMAP server has to cooperate with the mail server, in order to automatically handle the mail delivery part – as I said, the IMAP server is not involved in the mail delivery process.
I can only control the server side aspect of it. I do have Cone too, but it's a boutique mail client, and is not really in general enough use (although, when properly configured, Cone does speak Courier-IMAP-specific language, and can do things that stock IMAP cannot). But that's neither here, nor there…
