  • Google will disable all but OAuth for IMAP, SMTP and POP starting Sept. 30
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Jan 2024
    Shouldn't be _too_ hard to convert your scripts.

    I ran into the same problem and one workspace disallows App passwords. You can simply get the OAuth token with a little python script and then use it as the password: https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/blob/master/pyt...

    (see for example https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter/issues/186)

  • Lua: The Little Language That Could
    16 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 May 2023
    My first real exposure to Lua was as the configuration language of imapfilter. Absolutely loved both.

  • Automaticallly Printing (from email?)
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 6 May 2023
    Use [imapfilter](https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter) to store the attachment in a local folder and delete/archive the mail. Then use something like [inotify](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify#:~:text=inotify%20(inode%20notify)%20is%20a,reports%20those%20changes%20to%20applications.)%20is%20a,reports%20those%20changes%20to%20applications.)) to run a script that sends the new pdf to the printer
  • Scriptable headless IMAP client?
    3 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 11 Apr 2023
    Imapfilter runs lua scripts. Since it's basically just a lua interpreter with a pre-imported library, you can pretty much do any processing you might like, but... IMHO it doesn't seem great: the documentation is so-so, the API is a bit clunky and lacks basic functionality (eg. you have to decode utf8 mime headers yourself) and (personal opinion) writing an imapfilter script is not easier than using an IMAP library in whatever your favorite programming/scripting language might be.
  • How to run a script to cleanup emails ?
    2 projects | /r/fastmail | 9 Mar 2023
    You could look at something like imapfilter. It's designed to do what you want, I think, though I've never used it.
  • Looking for help or alternative solutions to my current email workflow with ProtonMail
    2 projects | /r/PrivacyGuides | 9 Jan 2023
    I know this one is an issue, and for that you will want to use an email client with the bridge. I have used a protonmail docker container shenxn/protonmail-bridge-docker with imapfilter to provide client side filtering.
  • I have too much email - over 50 GB on Outlook and Gmail
    1 project | /r/techsupport | 4 Jan 2023
    If you can see yourself writing some scripts to clean it up, I can recommend imapfilter as a starting point. I learned enough Lua to be able to use this effectively. The "config" file is actually just a Lua script.
  • Command line email filters
    2 projects | /r/commandline | 1 May 2022
    I believe that Google still offers IMAP access (I think you need to set up app passwords, or possibly jump through some OAUTH hoops), letting you use something like imapfilter to set up rules, connecting to Gmail, then doing the filtering.
  • Spam filter that connects to mail server
    2 projects | /r/selfhosted | 16 Apr 2022
    imapfilter with a Lua script to send messages to Spamassassin.
  • Syncing E-Mail filters
