Hi,

Currently, the Sieve language lacks the means of freely accessing the
IMAP special-use mailbox attributes (RFC 6154). For example, it would be
nice to be able to determine what the Junk mailbox is during Sieve
processing at delivery, based on which mailbox has the "\Junk"
special-use attribute assigned. I believe I have coined this idea before
several years ago, but the incentive to actually build or document
anything was never very high.

Recently, I found the motivation to design a proper Sieve extension for
this; I finished implementing IMAPSIEVE and in that context such
functionality can also be very useful.  The draft specification is
attached, since the IETF draft submission is currently blocked.

Please tell me what you think. I aim to submit this to appsawg soon, but
I think most Sieve people are still concentrated here, so I post it here
first.

Regards,

Stephan.
