...igrated from a decade and a half old procmail supported solution to sieve. While doing so I often found that I'd like to filter a bunch of messages (with "bunch" in the area of 1-10K) with my shiny new sieve script. I found in the wiki a way to do that: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail And it works well, it picks the mails via IMAP and resubmits them to dovecot-lda. But unfortunately the IMAP flags including \Sent, \Flagged etc are lost in the process. I started checking for other solutions beside getmail that might extract the imap flags as well, but I wouldn't know how to...

I want to know what the best way to run sieve filters on already delivered mail is. Problem is that I have a rather large unfiltered mailbox and filtering it by hand would be a PITA. I don't mind coding something up to do this, but I just don't think that I'm the first one with this problem. Thanks - Axel

...-passing LDA, by any means is it possible for IMAP to run seive on it when it migrates the files from new to cur and indexes them? I understand that this might not be a valid question as mail is delivered already so there is nothing to filter :-) Not easily. There is http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail

is there a way to process a mailbox through an existing sieve script as it the mail was being delivered anew? I?ve cleaned up a lot of my list-sorting scripts and I would like to process a bunch of mail again so it gets sorted properly. If I can do this could I also do it for a specific date range? For example, let?s say io want to reprocess all the messages that are in ?Archive? from between

Hi there! i installed and configured dovecot with management-sieve and sieve plugin ?on my server. I'm trying to apply filters to existing mail (not just the incoming one) but it doesn't work... Can i do it?? thanks!!! bye

I was wondering if anyone thought of applying filters to email post delivery, pre-read. Basically the idea would be to head off Spam, Malware or Phishing for already delivered email. Malware would probably be the least likely target, as (knock on wood) user workstations would be updated, but a targeted phishing scam would not create a public signature that would be downloaded, yet an

Hello, i already read http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail but it won't work here :( I have many old mails in my folders and need to refilter many of them. But there are many mails without a delivered-to-header. What can i do? Error: Configuration error: envelope_recipient specified header missing (delivered-to:1) Would be okay if getmail would jus...

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail That solution looks great for a single user, but is it possible to do a larger version that runs for everyone on the server? I'm speaking specifically of a virtual setup where all mailboxes are owned by a common UID/GID. It seems like (with brief testing) that I could search for mail insi...

...il on the Dovecot server side with sieve. (I'm using Dovecot v. 2.0.9 with IMAP/Maildir.) 1) From the docs I gather that Dovecot sieve will not work as mail is loaded by getmail and I need to refilter the email after it has been loaded with getmail, right? 2) In http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail it says, "This HOWTO helps you create a folder for mail that needs refiltering..." But contrary to the doc I don't see any actual instructions about creating said folder. The HOWTO assumes mail already exists in a folder called "REFILTER' but doesn't say how this folder w...

I did a mistake (shame on me). While migrating accounts on a new server, I didn't pay attention to a detail: sieve_max_actions, that I set to a low value for my testings, but then forgot to raise before the migration. As a result, several redirect-only accounts have now their inbox filled with messages that should have been redirected to "real people", then discarded. Would there

I am currently setting up an IMAP server for archiving purposes. The goal is to drag an email to the IMAP folder, and then have a server-side sieve script to put it in the right folder. One of the sources used was this wiki entry http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot I added the mail_plugins = sieve to /etc/dovecot/15-lda.conf and after some exim4 fiddling, mails delivered are filtered by

Hi, I just want some clarification on how Dovecot's IMAP assigns UIDs when it picks files from the "new" directory of a Maildir. What I am observing is that only ctime has a role to play in it. For example if there are two files in "new", a.msg & z.msg. Even when a.msg has lower mtime than z.msg and "a" comes before "z" alphabetically, dovecot

...ecot's one) I thought but now see doesn't probably have much to do with the solution for namespace I found. I leave it there though, because I need to fix the mailbox by refiltering it, with the aid of the dovecot server, similar to how it is explained in: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail Because I got some syntax wrong in ~/.mailfiler for the maildrop MDA, and then I got some of those wrongly named (numbered, no a-z, only 0-9 digits in names) fake mailing-list folders that can be seen in my post on mutt mailing-list: http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=138021971816188&w=2...
