The question: can Dovecot be configured to support sieve filters on IMAP (not just SMTP) operations (Eduardo helped me here - so I'll specifically ask about the APPEND command).

If not , I'll make that a feature-request - "Timo, can Dovecot be modified to support sieve-filters on APPEND operations?". Failing that, can some specific operation subsets of sieve be supported on a cron-like basis? My understanding is that operations involving indexes are extremely fast - and that things like sender/recipient are included in the indexes. So filters based on sender/recipient might be possible?


At this moment it can't. And as a matter of fact, I doubt it ever will, because it doesn't really make sense.

I'm no expert in the IMAP protocol, but as far as I understand, the APPEND command is used to store a new mail in a given mailbox. It would not make sense to run a filter to store the message somewhere other than where the client asked when using that command (just to use the specific example).
