dovecot - Nov 2013 - Mail filters in incoming message

With my iMap client, I use various mail rules to move specific email to 
the right mail folders. Downside of that is that is this mailclient is 
not online, all email is stuck in my inbox, which makes reading email by 
mobile phone kind of chaotic.

I have seen several Pigeonhole Sieve examples, but I would like to know 
if there is a nub solution (I am not a programmer) to run filters when 
they enter my mail server (Postfix 2.10.2,1 icw Dovecot 1.2.17) or if 
there is a user friendly GUI available to set these filters? Perhaps 
Anyone interested to create such a GUI?

Best regards,
Jos Chrispijn

I believe their is a plugin for thunderbird (spit) that allows you to edit the
server-side sieve rules.

There are several guis implemented in webmail applications, f.i.
roundcube and modoboa. I'm not aware of standalone sieve guis, but I
never searched for them. The webmail stuff should work fine when you
want to do simple sieve stuff, but if you want to use the awesome
stuff, you'll to learn the sieve language ;)

Sieve is no programming language, and quite clear about which commands
do what: when you get a feel for it, you can read a script and tell
directly what it does.

You could just start with a gui and learn from that. I find the error
messages in the Thunderbird Sieve plugin very useful when writing new
rules.
