New Features

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.
    • Check here if you subscribe to mailing lists and want to use 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
