I don't think it's something I'm missing in the autosieve patch, but a
feature I'm missing in sieve itself. (But maybe I've overlooked it in a
spec.)
The use I had in mind was to autocreate (archive-)folders with dates in
it, like a fileinto "INBOX.archive-${year}"; (I hope that example
explains it ;-)) but then there has to be something in sieve that
decides what folder to create of course, e.g. something that puts a year
(or something else) in a variable. And *then* the autocreate patch could
be very useful for us, since the folder to create does then contain a
variable ;-)
There are not a lot of other cases where folders need to be auto-created
in our setup. (Or it's automated in a different way.)
Regards,
Paul
P.S. I think it's the variable extension in sieve that could provide
this, if not for the fact that "setdate" has been removed from the
specification (which I think would be what I'm looking for) and that the
variable extension is not supported with Cyrus...
