Support for Internet Message Access Protocol Events in Sieve
RFC 6785, “Support for Internet Message Access Protocol Events in Sieve”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2012 by B. Leiba. It updates RFC 5228. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Sieve defines an email filtering language that can, in principle, plug into any point in the processing of an email message. As defined in the base specification, it plugs into mail delivery. This document defines how Sieve can plug into points in IMAP where messages are created or changed, adding the option of user-defined or installation-defined filtering (or, with Sieve extensions, features such as notifications). Because this requires future Sieve extensions to specify their interactions with this one, this document updates the base Sieve specification, RFC 5228. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
