I was wondering if anyone else is using Courier IMAP and what methods they are using to filter mail?
Well... not that this answers your question directly, but... have you considered just switching to dovecot? The difference in performance is amazing - and that is not an exaggeration.
I have considered it... and that may be the option I am left with if I can't find a decent webmail client. Although, my bit of research showed Courier coming out a little ahead of Dovecot - mostly based on folder polling methods. In the end, I highly doubt my user base is savvy enough to notice the difference. I need to find a free weekend before I even consider it, and a decent mysql+dovecot guide. :)
Thanks for the input, Daniel
I had a virtual mail system with postfix + courier + postgres, and it was pretty easy to migrate from courier to dovecot.

I assume you already have a database setup. Courier has it's DB settings in /etc/courier/authlib/authmysqlrc (or something similar). Dovecot has its DB settings in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf (or similar). Dovecot executes queries directly from its file, while Courier creates its queries using variables. Reverse engineering the queries should be simple, especially if you can view the DB query log. Also, if your Postifx setup executes queries (/etc/postfix/mysql/mysql-virtual-*.cf) you can copy those.
My favorite feature of Dovecot is the full-text indexing of messages. I love searching through message bodies of thousands of messages (using RoundCube or Thunderbird) in amazingly short periods of time.
good luck. _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/
