Topic: Filtered: Open Source IMAP Mail Filtering Application

I thought this might interest iRedMail users ... Filtered is a new open source IMAP mail filtering application which provides a platform for training, routing and experimenting with your email. Filtered can learn from the contents of your existing folders, respond to drag and drop events and can be fully trained through a web interface. But, it's also a platform which can be used by programmers to create new features for email such as Quiet Hours which shuts off your inbox on certain days and times, Whitelisting which challenges new senders to authenticate themselves as human and a Secure folder which deletes messages from your NSA-inhabited Gmail account and stores an encrypted version on your server. Filtered is written in PHP in the Yii Framework and is available now on Github. There's a detailed installation guide for trying out the app with a cloud-based Linux server:

Re: Filtered: Open Source IMAP Mail Filtering Application

I agree with what author says:

We’re drowning in email and managing our inboxes remains a heavy burden. Mail services and clients have done very little to help us with this. Most of the email we receive is sent by machines, not people – yet, we’re the ones who have to individually process all of it.

IMO, Filtered has a good idea, but the problem is, it requires you to use another program for this purpose. If it can be integrated into existing mail clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, webmail (like Roundcubemail), then users can easily do this.

Re: Filtered: Open Source IMAP Mail Filtering Application

Thanks Zhang.

The Installation Guide for Digital Ocean and its droplets makes running the service pretty easy:

There's also a paid installation available.

Because there's no profit incentive for them to innovate these clients, innovation lags. Hence, this Filtered is the best approach as an open source module.
