Hi all, I have a big e-mail box over at my provider. I receive a lot of e-mail every day (over 100), which are distributed into different imap-folders by thunderbird. The problem is that thunderbird must be running (offcourse) to be able to it's job. And for thunderbird to run, my (home)computer must be running. I have a CENTOS 5 server running also. Are there any programs out there that work via command line or as a daemon, that i can use to sort my imap e-mail. I've googled a bit, but didn't come up with a solution(maybe I'm search with the wrong keywords). I found fetchmail & procmail, but I wasn't able to figure out if they can do it. Cheers, Patrick

I've googled a bit, but didn't come up with aSome IMAP servers have a filtering system called Sieve, which will sort mail among other things. Perhaps your provider has this or you can find one that does. Before I set up my own imap server (Cyrus), I used fastmail.fm and had good success. -- Sincerely, John Thomas

It worked well and syntax was easy to follow, but since it involves changing the local mail delivery agent at your provider might not be an option. http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/ Patrick

If its something that suppors sieve ( good chance ) then take a look at sieve.mozdev.org - its a plugin to thunderbird that lets you setup remote sieve scripts really easy. I have been using this to manage my 600 odd line sieve script, and its been fantastic.> I have a CENTOS 5 server running also.
