The Sieve Protocol is a platform independent method of filtering your mail
- This is commonly done using "Message Rules" or similar on email clients such as Thunderbird and Outlook
It is useful to us because the server is capable of running these filters before the mail is delivered to your Inbox
- Because the filter can be run before delivery, the server can drop the mail in the correct folder before your email client knows it is there
- Sieve Protocol also allows for other features, such as Out of Office replies.
RoundCube can be used to implement Server Side Filters
SquirrelMail also supports Server Side Filtering, just click on the coffee filter icon after you log in
There is also a a Thunderbird Plugin <= UNTESTED
