The SPECIAL-USE capability of the IMAP protocol (RFC 6154) allows
clients to identify special-use mailboxes, e.g., where draft or sent
messages should be put. This simplifies client configuration. In
contrast, the Sieve mail filtering language (RFC 5228) currently has
no such capability. This memo defines a Sieve extension that fills
this gap: it adds a test for checking whether a special-use attribute
is assigned for a particular mailbox or any mailbox, and it adds the
ability to file messages into a mailbox identified solely by a
special-use attribute.
This document is a product of the Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or
Amend Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
