The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Sieve Email Filtering: Delivering to Special-Use Mailboxes' (draft-ietf-extra-sieve-special-use-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adam Roach, Alexey Melnikov and Ben Campbell. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-extra-sieve-special-use/ Technical Summary The SPECIAL-USE capability of the IMAP protocol (RFC 6154) allows clients to identify special-use mailboxes; e.g., where draft or sent messages should be put. This simplifies client configuration. In contrast, the Sieve mail filtering language (RFC 5228) currently has no such capability. This memo defines a Sieve extension that fills this gap: it adds a test for checking whether a special-use attribute is assigned for a particular mailbox or any mailbox, and it adds the ability to file messages into an anonymous mailbox that has a particular special-use attribute assigned.
