6.0.1 SOGo email filters are gone

[adrw]

The filters still seem to be applying but I can't see them in the UI anymore in SOGo after upgrading to Cloudron 6.0.1.

@adrw Do you mean the filter UI itself is missing or just the filters are missing? One thing you can check is if the filters are there on the server. You can do this by:

cd /home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/vmail
find . -type f "*.sieve"

@girish Thanks! I had been logging in with the wrong email username, and my filters were on the other one. Whoops!

[adrw]

@girish Would it be possible to unite the sieve filters per mailbox across all email apps instead of silo-ing them?

[jimcavoli]

@adrw Not really. The management of the filters is largely up to the apps themselves, and they tend not to play super nicely with each other.

has anyone tried to compare the .sieve files and see what makes them so different?

[girish]

To add to what @jimcavoli said, I think the reason is that the sieve language is probably hard to parse. Curiously, rainloop has a whole meta language going with comments in the sieve file which helps it parse.

@girish Oh wow, had no idea that it wasn't as standardized as it seems. Thanks others for clarifying too.
