Getting SM Filters to work when picking up mail with external IMap Client.

Hello all,

I have a client that sometimes uses the SM interface and sometimes uses an
external IMAP client (Outlook Express). When they use the SM interface the
messages go to the proper folders for which the filters told them to go.
But when using their IMAP client program all the messages that are new,
are in the inbox. The second that SM is started all messages are sorted as
needed into the proper folders.

Is there a Plugin that will sort the inbox messages according to the SM
filters the user has selected when the messages comes onto the mail
server? The mail server and the web interface are on the same machine. All
client data is keeped in a MYSQL data base. SM version 1.4.19


Thanks,

Ken

Look into avelsieve or other server side filtering.

It sounds like we have similar setups and I am using avelsieve.

You need to implement delivery-time filters on your system.
SquirrelMail is a mail client that is only operational when a user is
logged in, and its responsibilities end there.  There are plenty of
what are called server-side filtering systems (as opposed to in-client
filtering) available, and SM has some front ends for configuring some
of them.  But getting such a system installed and configured is not
related to SM.  You'll need to do your own research on how to set that
up.
