Hello @webtop_team or @support_team ,
I’ve created a rule on my Webtop Mail so go forward mail from a sender will be moved to a folder. Is there a way to execute the rule on my entire Inbox for existing/older mail to move mail to the folder I need them directed into?
Thank you.
Hm, I didn’t find such option in Webtop, Roundcube or SOGo.
Which rules do you want to apply?
Maybe it’s enough to filter by the webtop filter and manually move the mails to the mailboxes you like.
It’s possible to use the sieve-filter command in the dovecot container, see also sieve-filter | Dovecot CE and Serverfault
For example to simulate all webtop sieve rules for user markus and apply it to the INBOX: (no action is taken, it just shows what would be done)
runagent -m mail1 podman exec -ti dovecot sieve-filter -u markus markus/sieve/webtop5.sieve 'INBOX'
Hello @mrmarkuz ,
Thank you for your reply!
I’ve created an Incoming rule to move mail from my Inbox into a folder. It’s working in that all new mail that comes in that satisfies the rule does get moved. But what I want to do is execute the incoming rule on my Inbox to move all mail that satisfies the rule to help clean up my Inbox. I don’t see how to do this.
Also, I can’t easily find where to view my rules. The only way I can find my rules is to click on a contact in an email and select ‘Create Rule’. Then I close that new rule to view my existing rules that I’ve created. Is there a menu item or link in Webtop where I can view my rules?
The suggestion to use the filter to search for the emails and then manually move the mail to my new folder, but I would have thought that Webtop would make it available to us to use the rule instead.
Thank you.
It seems that web mail clients don’t provide that function in general. It’s not trivial to implement it and an error in a filter can lead to data loss.
Maybe Thunderbird can be an alternative as it provides a filter editor and you can apply the filter to a folder.
Yes, just click on the gear:
