Getting Your Email Program To Talk To ReSieve
ReSieve works as a proxy server. Your email program
talks to ReSieve, which talks to your email server on its
behalf. Instead of your email program getting messages
directly, ReSieve grabs them first, and scans them to decide
what bucket they should go into.
Once it's decided - which takes only a fraction of a second
- ReSieve does one of two things: it can add a tag like [this]
to the start of the subject line; which means that simple
filtering programs like Microsoft Outlook Express can deliver
your mail where it's supposed to - or, for more advanced email
programs like Eudora, it can add a new email header like this:
X-Text-Classification: personal
- which your email program can use as a filter.
However, you need to do two things to get your email
program talking to ReSieve:
- Adjust your email program's settings to make it talk to ReSieve,
and
- set up your email filters so that things get filed
properly.
Let's adjust the mail settings first. We'll set up filters
in a moment.
Below are instructions for some of the more popular email
programs. For others - or for advanced users - here are the
general instructions:
- Change the POP3 server name in your email client to
IP-of-your-device, noting the original address.
- Change the POP3 user name to
[original-POP3-server-address]:[username]
- Leave the password alone
