afew will locally add notmuch tags to mails, as well as move them to
specific folders according to the notmuch tags they already contain.
This sets mails residing in the `Dump` folder to be tagged
correspondingly with `dump`.
(imapfilter automatically puts all filtered
adverts and mailing lists into the dump folder beforehand.)
On the other hand, it makes sure that email tagged with `dump` also
resides in the `Dump` folder (if tagged manually with notmuch), and same
thing for `Inbox`.
Changed rollup filter to read the files to be rolled up from 'rollup.txt'
file in the imapfilter configuration directory. (by default in XDG
basedir-compliant directory such as '~/.config/imapfilter/rollup.txt')
The file consists of sender addresses with a single address on each
line.
Make imapfilter configuraiton more flexible to prepare for different
filters being added.
The program will expect its configuration and filter files to be located
in XDG directory structure, within the sub-folder 'filters'.
E.g.: `/home/user/.config/imapfilter/filters`
A global `configDir` variable is available for any filters, which
describes the path to the current configuration directory.
The path to the filter directory can also be accessed through
`getFilterDir()`.
The configuration runs `accounts.lua` and expects it to return a table
with the individual imap boxes as top level entries, so that filters can
then loop through each account as needed.
Lastly, the config will automatically apply all filters found in the
filters sub-folder. A filter is a '.lua' file within the directory.
Other files can exist in the dir and will not be touched.
Added hook for afew tagging for local mail.
Mail will now arrive tagged only as 'new' by notmuch.
afew will then tag the mail accordingly as inbox unread when it is
personal mail.
It will additionally filter out anything marked as spam, or e-mail
containing a List-Id header, which will be tagged as 'list' and not
arrive in the inbox. This filters out anything arriving from a mailing
list from the inbox.
Removed the archive tag -- anything not in the inbox, and not marked as
list is instead used as an automatic archive.
Mail sent by myself will be automatically tagged as 'sent' and also not
show up in the mailbox.
Added `mail-searchcontacts` script, which uses notmuch to search for all
contacts of the mail database.
Can be invoked without any arguments to list *all* contacts of the
dataase in descending order of message count.
Otherwise, it will filter known contacts, first by prioritizing the
'from:' field, and otherwise by searching through the whole database for
the keywords passed in.
It will also re-format the results so that the list consists of
tab-delineated 'mail name' rows. If there is no name, the row will only
contain the bare e-mail address. This format is best accepted by aerc,
for which the script is written.
aerc uses the contacts script for its address completion in editing
e-mail headers.
Renamed `checkmail` to `mail-check` to fit the naming scheme of
`mail-[action]` for mail scripts, to better be able to group them in the
shell.
imapfilter now looks for account information in an accounts.lua file in
its configuration directory -- the file should return account
information as a table with each account being a top-level entry in the
table.
A sample spam-moving script has been supplied:
For now, it will take a list of sender addresses and put everything in
the list from the inbox into the dump directory.
An example list of senders has been supplied for testing purposes, but
this should eventually be read from a file containing an extensible list
of senders (and perhaps even different properties such as subject, etc.)
The imapfilter xdg alias has been fixed.
Coherence between the imap folder structure and notmuch tagging system
still has to be achieved -- either by aerc using the folder structure as
a query map, or notmuch tags automatically being applied for specific
imap filtering options.
Added script to call for checking mail. Will run individual pre- and
post-hooks. (By default, imapfilter and notmuch update.)
Simple options can be changed through environment variables:
Hooks can be set to different scripts with MBSYNC_PRE and
MBSYNC_POST, respectively.
Will also run mbsync repeatedly, until it exits without error. By
default it will try running it 3 times before giving up, this can be set
with MBSYNC_MAX_TRIES.
No functional imapfilters have been added yet.
mbsync and imapfilter both adhere to the XDG base directory layout
(somewhat), checking for their option files in .config/{isync,imapfilter}
respectively.
Everything still pending changes, the mail eco-system is hard to
wrap one's head around.
