that the message will be filed into when it is awakened. It is that the message will be filed into when it is awakened. It is
equivalent to the mailbox argument of the fileinto action (see equivalent to the mailbox argument of the fileinto action (see

4. Mechanics of Snoozing Messages
The process of snoozing is implementation specific and outside the
scope of this document. However, the sections below outline possible
methods of snoozing and awakening a message to be filed.
4.1. SMTP Future Message Release
A Sieve interpreter may implement the snooze action by leveraging the
SMTP Future Message Release [RFC4865] submission extension. The
message would be snoozed by queuing it for redelivery with a release
time that corresponds to the calculated awaken time. The target
mailbox for the awakened message would need to be encoded into the
recipient address or into a message header field. Care MUST be taken
to prevent the awakened message from being re-snoozed by the Sieve
script and causing a message loop.
4.2. "Snoozed" Mailbox
A Sieve interpreter may implement the snooze action by leveraging the
user's existing mail store. The message would be snoozed by storing
the message in a special "snoozed" mailbox and then moved into the
target mailbox at the calculated awaken time.
If a user's Sieve script enables the "imap4flags" [RFC5232]
extension, and if the "setflag" and/or "addflag" actions have been
used to store IMAP flags in the imap4flags internal variable, the
Sieve interpreter MAY use the current value of the internal variable
as the set of flags to associate with the message when storing it
into the "snoozed" mailbox. Note that in this case, the ":addflag"
and ":removeflag" tagged arguments to the snooze action operate on
this set of flags, but MUST NOT do so until the message is awakened.
