+ # Accounts and mailboxes #
+ ##########################
+ #
+ # Each account has a number of folders/mailboxes which are grouped under an
+ # alias name. Folders belong to the last preceding account. A mailbox can
+ # belong to many mailbox groups.
+ #
+ #
+ # Connects to "imap1.mail.server" at port 143, as "user1" and using password
+ # "secret1".
+ #
+ # Mailboxes that exist at "imap1.mail.server" include: "INBOX", "bsd-maillist",
+ # "linux-maillist", etc. and are grouped in various ways.
+ #
+ account account1 user1:secret1@imap1.mail.server:143
+   folder inbox1 INBOX
+   folder bsd bsd-maillist
+   folder linux linux-maillist
+   folder lists linux-maillist,bsd-maillist
+   folder all INBOX,linux-maillist,bsd-maillist
+ #
+ # Another account and it's folder settings.
+ #
+ # It connects to an IMAP mail server using the SSLv3 protocol.
+ #
+ account account2 user2:secret2@imap2.mail.server ssl3
+   folder inbox2 INBOX
+   folder example "hello, world"
+ #
+ # A third account which password is intentionally ommited, either because it
+ # will be supplied interactively or because it will be stored securely using
+ # the integrated password editor.
+ #
+ account account3 user3@imap3.mail.server
+   folder inbox3 INBOX
+ ###########
+ # Filters #
+ ###########
+ #
+ # Filters are completely independent from any account or folder settings.  The
+ # mask command may be ommited. If no masks are declared inside a filter entry,
+ # then all messages are matched.
+ #
+ #
+ # A possible anti-spam filter to get rid of unwanted messages.
+ #
+ # The "or" flag in the arguments of the filter command makes the filter masks
+ # work like this (in pseudocode):
+ #
+ #   if (from ...)
+ #   or if (from ...)
+ #   or if (subject ...)
+ #   then delete
+ #
+ filter spam or
+   mask from marketing@company.junk
+   mask from advertising@annoying.promotion
+   mask subject "new great products"
+ action delete
+ #
+ # And here is a filter that matches all messages except those that have an
+ # explicit "To" or "Cc" header or come from a friend's specific mail address.
+ #
+ # The "and" flag in the arguments of the filter command makes the filter masks
+ # work like this (in pseudocode):
+ #
+ #   if (not to ...)
+ #   and (not cc ...)
+ #   and (not from ...)
+ #   then delete
+ #
+ filter strict and
+   mask not to "name surname <email@address>"
+   mask not cc "name surname <email@address>"
+   mask not from friend@address
+ action delete
+ #
+ # Another filter useful for sorting of mail.
+ #
+ # This one moves messages with the specified "sender" header and an internal
+ # date newer than 14 days to the mailbox bsd-maillist.
+ #
+ # When no "or" or "and" flag is specified for a filter the default "and" is
+ # used.
+ #
+ filter bsdlist
+   header sender bsd-maillist@maillist.server
+   newer 14
+ action move bsd-maillist
+ #
+ # Messages can be copied to a folder, eg. for archive purposes.
+ #
+ # This filter copies all messages with the "[patch]" word in the subject header
+ # and smaller that 50000 bytes, to a mailbox named "patches" that may or may
+ # not exist (in the latter case it will be automatically created). Also,
+ # displays their "From" and "Subject" headers.
+ #
+ filter patch
+   subject "[patch]"
+   smaller 50000
+ action copy patches from,subject
+ #
+ # One can also just display some of the headers of messages that match a
+ # filter.
+ #
+ # This filter displays and/or writes to logfile the "From", "Subject" and
+ # "Date" headers of recent, unread messages, that come from "tux@penguin.land"
+ # or "beastie@daemon.land" but not with a subject containing the phrase "all
+ # work and no play".
+ #
+ # Note that the "recent and unseen" functionality can also be accomplished with
+ # "new" or even "not old".
+ #
+ filter display
+   recent
+   unseen
+   from tux@penguin.land
+   or from beastie@daemon.land
+   not subject "all work and no play"
+ action list from,subject,date
+ #
+ # Messages can be copied between two different accounts, ie. two different IMAP
+ # mail servers. It must be noted though, that this requires that the messages
+ # are downloaded from the source mail server and then uploaded to the target
+ # mail server.
+ #
+ # This filter copies matching messages to INBOX of "account3".
+ #
+ filter security or
+   from security@security.announcements
+   from security-announce@my.unix.os
+ action rcopy account3 INBOX subject,date
+ #
+ # Likewise, messages can be moved between different accounts.
+ #
+ filter weekly-news
+   from "weekly-news@news.letter"
+ action rmove account3 news
+ #
+ # One can set flags of messages.  This can be accomplished with the "flag"
+ # keyword. It is possible to add, remove or replace the flags of a message.
+ #
+ # The filter below, adds the "flagged" flag (which is used to mark a message
+ # important) to matching mail.
+ #
+ filter new-release
+   from announce@my.bsd.os
+   or from announce@my.linux.os
+   subject "new release"
+   or body "new release"
+ action flag add flagged
+ #
+ # In some cases, such as when archiving messages, it is useful to make use of
+ # date conversion specifiers and/or the default variable, in the name of the
+ # destination mailbox of a filter.
+ #
+ # Date conversion specifiers are introduced with the at sign '@', for the date
+ # of the message, and the percent sign '%', for the system's current date.
+ #
+ # The default variable "$_" is replaced with the name of the mailbox that the
+ # filter is currently applied to.
+ #
+ # For example, this filter does a month based archiving of messages that are
+ # older than 60 days.  When applied to the bsd-maillist and linux-maillist
+ # mailboxes, messages would be moved to mailboxes named bsd-maillist-2003-07,
+ # bsd-maillist-2003-08, etc. and linux-maillist-2003-07,
+ # linux-maillist-2003-08, etc., respectively.
+ #
+ filter archive
+   older 60
+ action move $_-@Y-@m
+ #
+ # And to clarify the combination of and/or flags in filter/mask commands here
+ # is something that might help:
+ #
+ #   if A and (B or C) and (D or E or F) and G then ...
+ #
+ # Can be accomplished with:
+ #
+ #   filter ... and
+ #     A
+ #     B
+ #     or C
+ #     D
+ #     or E
+ #     or F
+ #     G
+ #   action ...
+ #
+ # On the other hand:
+ #
+ #   if A or (B and C) or (D and E and F) or G then ...
+ #
+ # Can be accomplished with:
+ #
+ #   filter ... or
+ #     A
+ #     B
+ #     and C
+ #     D
+ #     and E
+ #     and F
+ #     G
+ #   action ...
