I've got a somewhat convoluted setup where I'd like to:
- sync email from hosted provider via
offlineimap
to local Maildir++ - use
Dovecot
to host a local IMAP server backed by said Maildir++ - run
imapfilter
againstDovecot
to filter and manage emails - re-sync emails back to my hosted provider via
offlineimap
I've been playing around with the Dovecot
part of this over the weekend, and mostly got it working. The primary reason for looking at this was speed of filtering - it's painfully slow running imapfilter
against my hosted mail provider.
I had assumed that, by Dovecot
using the Maildir++ backing store, that the changes applied when imapfilter
was run, would be reflected in the underlying Maildir++ messages, but I'm not seeing that.
Is my understanding incorrect, or is it likely to be a configuration issue?
