NAME

     imapfilter - mail filter

SYNOPSIS

     imapfilter [-Vdiv] [-c configfile] [-e command] [-l logfile]

DESCRIPTION

     imapfilter is a mail filtering utility.  It connects to remote mail
     servers using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), sends
     searching queries to the server and processes mailboxes based on the
     results.  It can be used to delete, copy, move, flag, etc.  messages
     residing in mailboxes at the same or different mail servers.  The 4rev1
     and 4 versions of the IMAP protocol are supported.

     The options are as follows:

     -V      Displays program’s version.

     -c configfile
             Path to the configuration file.  The default is
             $HOME/.imapfilter/config.lua.

     -d      Debug mode; creates a temporary file name in
             $HOME/.imapfilter/debug.XXXXXX, where debugging messages about
             the program’s progress are printed.

     -e command
             May be used to enter one line of program (configuration).  When
             this options is used, imapfilter will not look for any
             configuration file.

     -i      Enters interactive mode after executing the configuration file or
             the command line.

     -l logfile
             File that contains logs of error messages imapfilter produces.

     -v      Verbose mode; prints detailed information about the program’s
             actions.

ENVIRONMENT

     HOME    User’s home directory.

FILES

     $HOME/.imapfilter/config.lua
             Default configuration file.  Because this file may contain
             sensitive data such as user passwords, the recommended
             permissions are read/write for the user, and not accessible by
             others.

     $HOME/.imapfilter/certificates
             File where the SSL/TLS certificates are stored.

     $HOME/.imapfilter/debug.XXXXXX
             Debug files.
