    Phones with no encryption could just "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0" or equivalent. It's just a matter of user-ignorance, not of software issues.

    So, you want to quickly search for the email, without waiting too many seconds, but you've no idea from what year the email is? I'm assuming you're already indexing it, so sorry, the only solution is to buy faster SDDs, faster RAM, and faster CPU to do the search faster.

    The costs are even worse if you live in underdeveloped countries.
    While the cost of pirating it is quite the same (even cheaper, actually: we have no monthly download caps!).

    DVD realease has lower quality. Why would I want that?

    This is absolutely true.
    Where I live, if I want to legally watch the show, I need to hire cableTv+HBO. It's way too much of an expense for me.
    And I'm middle classed, for the average citizen, those cost are out-of-reach.
    However, paying 1-3USD per episodes would be ok. It may sound like little money, but remember that not much of what you pay for cabletv goes to the actual show, a lot of the money is lost on the way.

    I formerly used Thunderbird + http://sieve.mozdev.org/.
    Nowadays, I use mutt and haven't needed to edit my filters yet (mutt doesn't support sieve, regrettably).

    My server is dovecot.

    Here's a more complete list of clients that support sieve: http://sieve.info/clients, since thunderbird's plugin wasn't too good.

  8. Re:IMAP on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Archive and Access Ancient Emails? · · Score: 1

    Do you use a client/server config that allows you to create filters using a client UI that then executes on the server? If so, what is it? I guess MS Exchange may do something like that?

    There's a link to such a protocol in the comment you're replying to. Maybe you should have look at it?
    Thunderbird has a plugin to do client-side configuration of these. I believe kmail includes this as well. I'm pretty sure there's plenty more clients since, as you can see in the link above, it's an IETF standard.

    Obviously it's amazing at searching through the archives.

    Regrettably, gmail's IMAP implementation does not support the sort command.

    Indeed, databases are the perfect solution, though not relational ones; rather email database formats: like Maildir!

  11. Re:IMAP on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Archive and Access Ancient Emails? · · Score: 1

    It's a shame gmails has no real filters, like (sieve).

    Yes, the webinterface CAN create filters. But if you're using a desktop clients, it's not confortabe to have to open a DIFFERENT client to configure filters.

    Gmail also lacks some imap features, notably, the sort command.

    Archive old emails by year:

    Only search in the appropiate ones. Easy, right?

    Every time this sort of things happen to me, I call them, informing them I did not hire that service, so they can't legally charge me for it.

    Because their way cheaper. Especially for mid-range and even mid-high range. The price difference is also more noticable in less developed countries.
    In my case, Intel does offers better CPUs than my current AMD one, but they're all out of my budget.
