This is the config file that BEST Aalborg used to sort emails from @BEST.eu.org.

The necessity for this comes from the fact that a good handful of besties don't use the right tags when sending emails. This is especially true for the mails send to the LBGs@BEST.eu.org mailing list, even through the rules about the different tags are written on the same pages.

Setup - Linux

It is assumed that imapfilter and python3 is install

  1. Clone this repo to you computer
  2. make a symbolic link to from ~/.imapfilter to the clone repo
  3. added your mails login information in the file ~/.imapfilter/accounts.lua use accounts.lua.example to see how it should look.
  4. Now create the systemd file imapfilter.service in ~/.config/systemd/user
  5. Enable the service my running the command systemctl --user enable --now imapfilter.service. You may have to run the command systemctl --user daemon-reload
  6. If you want to auto updates of the filter, create the systemd file imapfilter_update.service in ~/.config/systemd/user
  7. Enable the service my running the command systemctl --user enable --now imapfilter_update.service. You may have to run the command systemctl --user daemon-reload
