Is it possible to develop a *working* evolution plugin in a language other than C? There was some noise about being able to extend Evolution via Mono [.NET] (which was exciting!) but that fizzled. <http://psankar.blogspot.com/2007/10/write-evolution-plugins-using-mono-c.html> <http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2007/Oct-04-1.html> But GNOME-Do did [does?] have an Evolution plugin written in Mono [I believe] <http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Evolution_Plugin> There are evolution-mono-plugins and evolution-python-plugins packages in most distributions; but I'm not aware of anything built on them. Given that GObject is well wrapped in PyGTK Python might be a good approach. <http://galactus.ximian.com/pipermail/evolution-hackers/2005-May/005792.html> [Still scary old] Kupfer had some kind of plugin for Evolution. <http://blog.stebalien.com/2010/04/kupfer-plugins.html> > I explored managesieve client implementation in ruby and protocol seems > easy to be implemented.

Server-side filters are account-specific which Evolution filters really aren't, server-side filters are also different in some ways. If a plugin just added a tab to IMAP account(s) that allowed filters to be created/modified/removed I think that would be sufficient - or right clicking on an IMAP account and selecting edit-filters. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
