It also has support by some commercial providers like FastMail. This might be seen as the closest to a server-side filtering standard.

I've been using Sieve filters (defined through the Roundcube interface of my service provider) for a while and it always worked. What is the purpose of this issue?
The purpose of this ticket is to offer a way to manage your server-side Sieve filters through Geary via the ManageSieve protocol, i.e. to manage your filters without the need to launch another tool.
*** Bug 744633 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The missing sieve support is what refrains me from using Geary.
This would be good candidate to be implemented as some sort of companion, stand-alone application built on Geary's engine (“Sievy”?), or perhaps as some kind of extension. Patches welcome!
It would be interesting if it was some standalone GNOME application that gets launched by apps like Geary, Evolution, etc. The tricky part might be handling credentials across apps though. "How Hard Can It Be" right? ;)

"How Hard Can It Be" right? ;) Heh, right? I guess if people have added IMAP accounts via GOA, then problem solved? This was actually why I was thinking that a plugin might be appropriate - much easier to access account info, existing list of mailboxs, open connections, etc. Which I guess applies to Evo as well?
> I guess if people have added IMAP accounts via GOA, then problem solved? Except that apps like Evolution support both GOA and traditional Evolution/EDS accounts. The former have been too unreliable and inflexible for me, while the latter have worked much better so that's what I'm using. This is why I thought of the credentials as being potentially tricky.
This would have to be a plugin, so depending on Bug 714883.
I just wrote up a tracking bug for the plugin system over at gitlab that collects all of the requirements for feature requests that should be implemented as plugins in the one place, so closing this bug in favour of that ticket: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/155
