Abstract

The SPECIAL-USE capability of the IMAP protocol (RFC 6154) allowsclients to identify special-use mailboxes, e.g., where draft or sentmessages should be put. This simplifies client configuration. Incontrast, the Sieve mail filtering language (RFC 5228) currently hasno such capability. This memo defines a Sieve extension that fillsthis gap: it adds a test for checking whether a special-use attributeis assigned for a particular mailbox or any mailbox, and it adds theability to file messages into a mailbox identified solely by aspecial-use attribute.
