  1. What if we had a tiny desktop utility GUI app to manage Sieve server-side email messages filters? Then it could be useful to any email client application on the FreeDesktop.

    #email #Sieve #ManageSieve #IMAP #SMTP #GNOME

  3. @jwildeboer When I switched back to self-hosted email, #Sieve and #ManageSieve quickly became the killer features. I probably have 2,000 lines across various accounts.

    It's a hidden gem though. There's a serious lack of tools, and the main docs on the web are like 20 years old. Share your resources!

    I ended up making codeberg.org/mwinters/putsieve for myself, which also pairs well with codeberg.org/mwinters/imap-ntfy to get paged for urgent emails. Maybe someday I'll make a real app + UI.

  5. Just in case anyone needs to programmatically update their Sieve scripts on Fastmail, I wrote a simple script to do that via JMAP: https://gist.github.com/wiktor-k/ed1e9c604e3f6954d38c36ae45a19290

    Fastmail, please provide a documented API for that (and more, such as managing user aliases!) so we wouldn’t need to reverse-engineer your webmail client! (ManageSieve support would be nice too)

    Tangentially, it’s cool that they are using JMAP for everything, makes it quite easy to dig deeper…

  6. I just released #managesieve v0.8, a #python client library and too for remotely managing #Sieve scripts mail filters scripts. Sieve scripts allow users to filter incoming email on the mail server and are supported by many IMAP
    servers.

    Wow, and I'm maintaining this since 2003, this is more than 10 years now.

    Notable changes are support for #IPv6 and Python 3.12 and of course several smaller enhancements and fixes.

  7. @ryanleesipes Hehe, honestly I'm not. I only read up on Sieve in documents but never managed to use it because I couldn't find any #ManageSieve app that worked on my OS. The Tb plugin also never worked somehow. And personally already worked around the problem of having a huge unfiltered inbox on mobile by having a second dedicated mailbox for development mailing lists and Github notification etc.

  9. There are mailing lists that do _not_ instruct the server to add a prefix to the subject automatically.

    I wanted to add this prefix on my end, for messages that I _receive_, for better organization of my inbox.

    I found out about how to do that with #ManageSieve:

    superuser.com/questions/150258

    Now I just have to remember to remove this prefix manually in case I ever reply to an email on such lists 😬
