Hello Is there any way to run a filter manually? It suppose to go through the existing messages in the inbox and move the ones matching the criteria. The filter seems to work on new messages but not on old ones.

Correct, the sieve rules apply only when a new e-mail arrives. There's however a (Dovecot) HowTo, if you must run the rules manually: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail But I've never done this, so I can't tell if it'll work.

Thanks, this makes sense. However I am using sendmail: 1111 ?? Ss 0:05.13 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail) 1115 ?? Is 0:00.09 sendmail: Queue runner@00:30:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmail) I am aware that Roundcube is a mail client, I am using it with IMAP to access my mail accounts. Wonder with this setup there is any chance for 'client-side-filters'. (Technically I believe it is possible, as you can delete/move messages with IMAP.) For some of the accounts I have no control over the server, this is why I have to rely on the mail client. Thanks.

Cheers B.

what filters ?, the ones that are in roundcube is sieve rules imho ?, so what you need then is fetchmail send this unsorted mails to dovecot-lda one more time

this issue is not roundcube only problem, since roundcube is just another email client like thunderbird that can use sieve filters aswell

but instaed of fetchmail one could make a php wrapper in that resend it to dovecot-lda again

more info if it was just a big guess from me
