Re: hooks for external apps

[Scott Seller <scotts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is close but not quite. With Procmail I can send mail to an 
individual folder in an account/. Basically, I can offload all of the 
sorting my mail app does now to the server. This is of benefit if you 
are using a web based client whicj cannot sort your inbox. It also 
improves the speed of opening an inbox that gets large numbers of 
messages. P.O. Filters are good but they do not do what I would like.

Tenon mentioned that this would be looked into some time ago (I have 
been asking for it since an early beta) but my requests have fallen 
on deaf ears as of late.

Scott.
