Add Header to Email stored in the inbox
Hi,
Im writing a system which will periodically parse through a set of emails and perform actions on the contents. The system is extensible and has the ability to run multiple different filters on each message.
We use IMAP for the mail server and I would like to be able to add a header indicating that a message has been parsed using a particular filter so next time a folder parse is performed the message is skipped for that filter, but if new filters are added it still gets parsed.
Most mentions of headers are on sending of emails, and not email which is stored in the inbox.
Its a similar idea to Spam filters which leave an X-Spam-Software: Name type header after parseing.
Please help, ive tried opening read/write access to the inbox, but i cannot edit email that already exists on the server for some reason.
