I have been having trouble with blacklist and spam rules not being applied to my incoming IMAP folders. I’m using my server’s Procmail rules to pre-sort incoming messages into several folders. While I can specifically (and successfully) apply the rules to these incoming folders manually, I’m hoping there’s a way that eMClient can do so automatically.
How can I apply my incoming mail rules to a small subset of specific non-Inbox IMAP folders, automatically (preferably every time emails are retrieved from the server)?
This seems like a pretty big limitation of the Rules implementation in eMClient.
Is there a way to set up a rule so that it always operates on a specific folder (i.e. without having to select that folder from a picker list every time)?
Also, is there a way to run a rule on a schedule, like every 5 minutes?
Also, is there a way to create an easily accessible button on a toolbar, to run a specific rule without having to go menu diving?
Rules are probably more than enough for most users. However, there are some aspects of the implementation that do not work for more advanced filtering. I use server-side filters for most things because I have more options there, and because that works better with multiple devices.
But who knows how this feature will develop in eM Client.
