It is quite funny that you bring this up right now, because as a matter of fact there is a new IMAP extension in the works that should support just that:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-lemonade-imap-sieve-05.txt However, as it is now, it is still cause for much debate in the Sieve community, so I don't think this will yield an RFC any time soon. > If not , I'll make that a feature-request - "Timo, can Dovecot be > modified to support sieve-filters on APPEND operations?". I would call this a plan for the distant future. There are quite a few challenges to make something like this work efficiently without too much of a performance impact. And, as some people have argued, the Sieve language is (currently) not tailored to operate directly in an IMAP context and that can - and probably will - cause unforeseen problems. Regards, Stephan
