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
