Overcoming Imapsync Limitations: Working with Sieve Filters

[DavidePrincipi]

Imapsync known limitations: https://docs.nethserver.org/projects/ns8/en/latest/imapsync.html#known-limitations

User's Sieve filter is not executed after an Imapsync run. To overcome this limitation we can implement this strategy:

• Enable FILTER=SIEVE IMAP plugin in Dovecot.
• After Imapsync run trigger the Sieve filter execution with the extended IMAP command, provided by the Dovecot's plugin.
