Hello,
I'm attempting to use sieve-filter on a local mailbox.
I've defined mail_location as follows:
% grep mail_location /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
mail_location = maildir:~/Mail
I have a large number of mailboxes / mail in ~/Mail:
~ % find Mail | wc -l
63158
There are definitely a few messages in INBOX:
~ % find Mail/INBOX/cur | wc -l
5
I must admit, I'm completely new to sieve and have just begun
experimenting with it. Based on a super helpful blog post[1], I quick
set up the following ~/.sieve:
% cat ~/.sieve
require ["fileinto"];
# rule:[TEST]
if header :contains "Subject" "Test Email"
{
fileinto "TEST";
stop;
}
As mentioned, there are numerous emails in INBOX. This email is
located in ~/Mail/INBOX/cur/<blah> and, for verbosity (and to ensure
I'm not making a foolish mistake), I've displayed it here:
From: Test Account <test at test.com>
To: "Me" <me at test.com>
Subject: Test Email
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:55:06 +0000
This is a test email.
Looking at the sieve filter recipe and email message, it appears that
I should have a match, no? sieve-filter appears to disagree:
% sieve-filter -C ~/.sieve INBOX
sieve-filter(test_user): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000,
home=/home/test_user
sieve-filter(test_user): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private,
prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes
location=maildir:~/Mail
sieve-filter(test_user): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/test_user/Mail,
index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/test_user/Mail, alt
Thinking this was because sieve will only filter on new messages, I
moved the file from cur to new. No change.
Any thoughts on why this may be happening?
Thanks!

Bump - hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

So either your mail_location is wrong (maybe it comes from the userdb) or your layout. Perhaps rename that directory "Mail/INBOX" -> "Mail/.testbox">> I must admit, I'm completely new to sieve and have just begun >> experimenting with it.

I suspect, that mailbox "INBOX" in /home/test_user/Mail does not belong to /home/test_user/Mail/INBOX/{cur,new}, but to /home/test_user/Mail/{cur,new}. Rename INBOX to .testbox and try with sieve-filter -C ~/.sieve testbox - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEVAwUBVinVPnz1H7kL/d9rAQIXaggAiJPHMB06mybOgWYQH3umgsr6HhHxnv5n 5CV6Yb1xZsW9fuPFlua6FWx+KoBlG24+FOCNRnug/YEnmU/1QhJkfBjhB3BIGBKC YkAk2iz52FlXdDIramh10S2u/mT62UT7iuFm2snU2se5A63fABBOWcIahZih5Pc5 fSPZud85Ms4qp567V7PNbhBEqDE+piQOVWlThGkUF7ARgm3d14j2F8HfEsTKrZu5 CzaTbHiRWBkRX2AGYVGGG1LpZ0ebcCFiZt2N8gJ+78x3savF67zZtQrpBteFeVfu juPSYz4ukqGzC8BX4pqBHC8RBiLcjBFuA1ZrKAq8GtA9clF+4eEOSQ==zc79 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
