Package: icedove Version: 2.0.0.19-1 Severity: wishlist
There is no RFC document for mail filters used in MUAs. There is currently no way to sync mail filters through an open standard with other mail clients and mobile devices. I would like to be able to have groups and user specified mail filter rules in a some sort of local or remote database that can be acceded trough an open standard, making it possible to synchronization, read, and write mail filter rules. I am willing to donate money for this, how much would it cost to develop this for icedove, thunderbird and gnome evolutions as prove of concept for this possible new standard? PS. I am not talking about server based filtering like sieve filters[1]. But if sieve filters can be used or enhanced then this can be an option to. [1] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3028.txt?number=3028 As a note to this problem, I currently have program lock-in with Thunderbird. I can not move to other mail clients without investigating large amounts of time to get my mail filters fully working, I tried to move to claws-mail and worked with the developer of the mail filter conversion scripts, but after months of emailing it was still not possible to convert my Thunderbird mail filters to claws-mail and have everything filtered the way it did with Thunderbird. Sad story, indicating only a small portion for the need to have a standard for mail filters and synchronization with other clients. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages icedove depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.24.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-2~exp5 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhunspell-1.2-0 1.2.8-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-4 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.0-5 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.33-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-2~exp5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.13-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime icedove recommends no packages.
