RFC 5229: Sieve Email Filtering: Variables Extension

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 5173. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

In advanced mail filtering rule sets, it is useful to keep state or configuration details across rules. This document updates the Sieve filtering language (RFC 5228) with an extension to support variables. The extension changes the interpretation of strings, adds an action to store data in variables, and supplies a new test so that the value of a string can be examined. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
