Server Side Message Filtering using Sieve protocol
  • 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
