I'm making a web-based email system using imap. This is part of the
feature set I'm planning on implementing:
1) Multiple folder support.
2) When viewing a folder, unread mails should be marked as such.
3) Server-side filtering into different folders using procmail.
But I can't figure out how do combine these requirements. The mail server
can tell me which mails are unread because those mails are still in
/var/spool/mail. But I want to filter incoming mail on arrival using
procmail into various files under my ~/incoming-mail directory. That means
the mail server can no longer tell which mails are read and which aren't.
If I make my mail interface keep track of which mails are read and which
are unread on its own, then it won't be compatible with other mail
programs. Then if I start another mail program, it will think all mails
are read, even if they aren't.
Am I going to have to drop procmail, and put my mail-sorting filters into
my mail interface instead?
Any help appreciated.
