Setting label in filter

[tpokorra]

this is a nice and useful plugin!
Just thinking that for more powerful expressions to apply labels, it could make sense to link the labels to the filters.
At the moment, there is the option in the filters: "move message to ".
How difficult would it be to add to an option "apply label to message" with a dropdown for the labels?

I investigated further, and realized that the filter is a plugin in itself, called managesieve.
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/plugins/managesieve

If the message_label was storing the labels not with an ID, but as a clear text IMAP flag, similar to Thunderbird, then it might be possible to extend managesieve to store flags in IMAP?

[tpokorra]

sorry, I have to correct my previous comment: managesieve does store already flags in IMAP.
but they are currently hard-coded: https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/blob/master/plugins/managesieve/lib/Roundcube/rcube_sieve_engine.php#L1603
My current idea is to extend that, so that it either allows free text to be entered for a flag, or it uses the prefs object from message_label plugin?

[tpokorra]

I have now committed a patch for managesieve, that will pick up the labels from the message_label plugin, and allow to add/remove them as flags:

Good :)
I don't use managesieve, because i use postfix+maildrop and I have other filter plugin. For this reason, I did not snap my plugin and filters plugin in roundcube.

this made the plguin no standar compatible and easy to install for all backends.. so as example for courier might be diffretent since dourier are more secure and harder to configura rather thant others and i don not sure if support that configurations
