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.
Creating Sieve Filters
Our IMAP servers run 'ManageSieve', this is a service which clients talk to in order to create and edit sieve filters. ManageSieve runs on port 4910, and there are various clients which support ManageSieve, eg:
- RoundCube - our webmail has a Filters option in the settings
- Extension for Thunderbird (not that great)
Whatever IMAP email program you use the Sieve filtering will still work. It may be easiest to create and edit the filters using Roundcube webmail even if you don't wish to use Roundcube for reading email.
Converting existing rules
If you use Mozilla (eg Thunderbird) and have existing rules created, then they can be converted in to Sieve from this page: mozilla2sieve.html.
