The thing that I would like to see is more of limiting the volume
of a folder, either in terms of total data size or of number of messages.
So either
fileinto :keep-maximum-messages 100 "somefolder";
or
fileinto :keep-maximum-storage 100k "somefolder";
(or both).
In addition to Ned's comments (which I tend to agree with), does
implementing this sort of folder semantic on a per-message basis even
make any sense?
Let's presume the script:
if envelope :all :contains "to" "rjs3+a@" {
fileinto "INBOX.foo";
} elsif envelope :all :contains "to" "rjs3+b@" {
fileinto :keep-maximum-storage 100k "INBOX.foo";
}
Does this mean the script only enforces the limit when an "rjs3+b" message
arrives? If so, is that even useful?
Its entirely unclear to me that folder-wide attributes are useful to
employ in a sieve script. Per-message expiration dates (and even generic
annotation-setting) seems fine, but folder-wide attributes just don't seem
like a good fit.
