Sieve Filtering: Difference between revisions

 
==What is Sieve filtering?==
At a basic level, Sieve is a system whereby the server is given rules be you to filter your email in to folders. It then means, that whatever email program you use, your email is already filed away in to it's correct folder according to your needs. Sieve can do more than just move email to their correct folder though.
 
It is helpful if you:
*Use IMAP
*Sort email in to folders
*Read email from a number of devices
 
The server can now sort your email in to your folders rather than relying on one of clients to be on and do the work for you.
