filtering (not for spam)

[mark_h]

I subscribe to many email lists (which add a tag to the subject line of the messages).

Is there any easy way to automatically file them in a seperate IMAP folder when they arrive.

[On the system provided by my university this was possible though a menu in the Hord IMP email system]

You don't give us enough information.

Are you a client of a webhosting company using DirectAdmin or are you a server administrator using DirectAdmin?

Filtering is not included by default in either the squirrelmail or webmail (uebimiau) clients included with DA.

I don't know if it's included with Horde, or if it was added by your university.

If you're the admin of a DA server you can google for squirrmail add-ons that offer filtering.

If you're a website user, you should check with your hosting company to see if they offer something that'll do the job for you.

Hi, i'm also would like to have the same feature. I'm a user of directadmin and i have nutsmail installed. However, filtering only happens when i log into nutsmail, whereas i am more of a imap user. is there a way to filter emails at the email server itself such that it will will into the appropriate imap folder?

I'm also interested in doing server based filtering for IMAP. I use my PDA to check IMAP folders and would like my group-based e-mail sent to certain folders.

I attempted to do this within the filter file under the etc/$virtualhost directory but didn't have any luck.

Any ideas?

IMAP is a client-server protocol. The client is going to tell the server to do the filtering and the server will do the filtering.

I believe filtering has to be implemented on the client level.

But you may be able to write your own script to do the filtering on the server. My guess is it would be non-trivial.
