Filters and rules without managesieve

[loxlay]

I have a general question.
Is there a way to use filters and rules without managesieve? Managesieve works server based.
I imagine a rule/filter function on the client side, i.e. directly in Roundcube.
Is there a plugin for this or another possibility on a client basis?

Thanks and greetings

There is a old client side filtering plugin https://github.com/roundcubevnz/roundcube-plugin-filters it doesn't seem to be supported anymore (last update in 2019) but there is a PR to make it work with Roundcube 1.6.x https://github.com/roundcubevnz/roundcube-plugin-filters/pull/3

Hello,
can it be that this plugin does not work user-based?
Do the filters set for global apply to all users who use the client?

I don't know since I don't use the plugin.

the plugin is an interface for configuring the rules only. how those are rules are stored and applied is controlled by the server. in dovecot for example you can have a global default set of rules and then if the user chooses they can create their own set of rules which override this default.

OK, then I misunderstood. I thought it was a plugin that works client-based, completely independent of the server, just like many e-mail clients such as Thunderbird etc. do.
My initial tests seem to confirm this. The server is not involved in the rules.

The plugin I linked to is completely client based unlike the managesieve plugin but it doesn't look like it supports any per user configuration.

I have just done a test with different users. The plugin mentioned is user-based and runs purely on the client side.
Global settings for all users are also possible.
A very good plugin, thanks for the tip!
