Hmm... good idea, but I have a question. In the case of IMAP, is
modification of stored email supported? If so, then one could have IMAP
folders stored remotely, while still being able to filter locally.
(Granted, this may be somewhat of a strange need, as I'm a roving laptop
user who doesn't control the IMAP store.) And fetchmail would get me
99% of the way there.
Now - one thing that would (currently) get me through this is the fact
that I have a shell account on the IMAP server, where I run my procmail
scripts - I could run everything there. But that's still technically
"server side". I don't think it's a matter of asking for antivirus
support in Evo - more of asking for a way to send a message out to a
script (which we already can do), then have a way to get the modified
message back in. After that, we can write our own scripts...
Besides, isn't this project (and product) about more than duplicating
functionality of other mailers? Evo has the right (and probably
necessity) to create its own unique solutions and lead, not follow.
Just because other mailers aren't doing it, doesn't mean that it
shouldn't be considered... Otherwise vFolders wouldn't be a reality, no?
I'm not asking for a feature - just for healthy discusion!
Thanks!
