THe most glaring problem with sieve is that folder names to be
sorted into cannot be dynamically determined at script run time
(unless I have missed some extension that does this).
A very common thing people do is to sort incoming email into
folders according to the From address. Or sorting into a
folder where the name of the folder has the date appended.
Ideally sieve would support something like:
if address :domain :is "From" "mycompany.com" {
fileinto "INBOX.$fromAddrUser$";
stop;
}
where $fromAddrUser$ is a macro that gets replaced at runtime by
the first part of the from address (i.e. by 'raines' if the
address is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
There is an extension to Sieve in the works which allows the use of
variables. No work has been done on Cyrus to add support for this
extension as of yet.
