Les labels sous Gmail et les filtres associés sont assez limités; il est impossible d’appliquer 2 labels en même temps et tous les filtres sont appliqués les uns après les autres, ce qui peut donner des résultats assez surprenants.

Afin de palier à ces limites, la gestion de mes filtres est assurée par imapfilter installé sur un serveur externe.

Installation du package

sudo apt-get install imapfilter
mkdir ~/.imapfilter
touch ~/.imapfilter/config.lua
echo "GMAIL PWD" > ~/.imapfilter/.password.offlineimaprc
chmod 600 ~/.imapfilter/.password.offlineimaprc

sudo apt-get install imapfilter

mkdir ~/.imapfilter

touch ~/.imapfilter/config.lua

echo "GMAIL PWD" > ~/.imapfilter/.password.offlineimaprc

chmod 600 ~/.imapfilter/.password.offlineimaprc

Configuration de imapfilter

function main()
 -- more timeout
 options.timeout = 120
 -- label can be created
 options.create = true
 -- authorize subscription
 options.subscribe = true
 -- ignore SSL certificates issue
 options.certificates = false
 
 -- Gmail account
 local home = IMAP {
 server = 'imap.gmail.com',
 username = '<EMAIL ADDRESS>',
 password = get_imap_password(".imapfilter/.password.offlineimaprc"),
 ssl = 'ssl3',
 }
 
 -- filter by subject
 move_subject(home, "INBOX", "NEWSLETTER", "Newsletter")
 
 -- filter by sender
 move_sender(home, "INBOX", "FACEBOOK", "@facebookmail.com")
 
end

function move_subject(imap, from, to, pattern)
 local messages = imap[from]:contain_subject(pattern)
 messages:move_messages(imap[to])
 end

function move_sender(imap, from, to, pattern)
 local messages = imap[from]:contain_from(pattern)

 end
 
function get_imap_password(file)
 local home = os.getenv("HOME")
 local file = home .. "/" .. file
 local str = io.open(file):read()
 return str;
end
