Sami Thunderbird was just a test client nothing more than that and it works well as you say. Hardly had any problems with it. However, I have a few other clients that do not obey rules very well and I was thinking to force them do that mainly to enforce proper learning of spam/nonspam through global sieve filtering for each and any type of client. It does not look like it is very possible so far.

Re: Merging existing mailboxes to aliases
I have just tested an account with Thunderbird as client and had a couple of problems. I also wonder if you have to apply sieve rules in each alias separately. That would complicate things even more but the concept is good though.

The alias plugin does not work properly afaik, I have been trying to use it on a default centos6/7 release. If I remember correctly it messes up with sub folders.

Merging existing mailboxes to aliases
I am trying to merge all, existing or not, different mailboxes in one with the mailbox alias plugin. If I add the following lines, will the existing mailboxes automatically merge in one mailbox and corresponding links auto create? If not, do I have to do this manually? mailbox_alias_new = Spam mailbox_alias_new2 = Junk E-mail mailbox_alias_new3 = Sent Items mailbox_alias_new4 = Sent Messages mailbox_alias_new5 = Deleted Items mailbox_alias_old = Junk mailbox_alias_old2 = Junk mailbox_alias_old3 = Sent mailbox_alias_old4 = Sent mailbox_alias_old5 = Trash Lefteris
