# 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", "woody",
# "linux-mailist", etc. and are grouped in various ways.

# 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

#
# Another filter useful for sorting of mail.
#
# This one moves messages with the specified "sender" header to
# the mailbox bsd-mailist.
#
# When no "or" or "and" flag is specified for a filter the default
# "and" is used.
#
filter bsdlist or
  header sender bsd-mailist@mailist.bsd
action move bsd-mailist

#
# 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.

# One can also 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".
