Server Side Filters

Server Side Message Filtering can be used by any program supporting the 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, but your program needs to download the messages in order to filter them
  • In this case, the server does the filtering so it 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, but it's a bit complicated to use
