Just noticed the Dovecot support IMAPSIEVE extension… Could I use this extension to update an external database with the date that the user last read the message?
No, IMAPSieve is only triggered by modifications: APPEND, COPY, MOVE and STORE.
My app sends certain “notification” messages to the user’s dovecot mail address. The user reads the messages in their dovecot mailboxes only using IMAP. I want to update my app’s database to record this read time for all “notification” messages sent by the app. Seems to me I could write a short sieve script to send a “notify” message to an app specific address that my app “watches” and updates the appropriate database record with the last_read time. Is this workable for production deploy? Or, is there a better way for a sender to be notified when the recipient actually reads the message? The sender will be my app and the recipient is a dovecot mailbox accessed by IMAP.
I don't see a solution at this time. You'd need to use some derivative of the notify plugin to do something like this. But afaik it doesn't exist. The push-notification plugin comes close though.
