1.23 + a standardized language for describing e-mail filters;
1.24 + the MDA can apply system-wide or user-defined filters on incoming messages;
1.25 + a filter has conditions (connected logical operators: AND, OR…) like „message header contains value X“
1.26 + and actions that will be done with the message like „file into folder X“ or „add flag/label 1“ or „redirect message to some.address@example.com“ or „discard message“;

1.29 + and works even if the user is offline (useful for OOTO messages when the user is on vacation)
