Let's help keep our inboxes free from junk.
Create a senders keyword list in accounts directory. Name the file {email address}.csv. Senders can be keywords, email addresses, domains - anything that you can use to search your inbox to find emails when prefixed with FROM.
# accounts/[email protected]
[email protected]
example.com
Politician Name
Run the tool.
$ python3 main.py {host} {email address} {password}
Available options:
| Option | Parameters | Default | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target Folder | -tf or --target_folder |
INBOX |
-tf=INBOX/My\ Folder |
| Buffer Folder | -bf or --buffer_folder |
None |
-bf=INBOX/Bulk\ Delete |
When executed, the tool will loop over the list of sender keywords, locate all matching messages, then delete them from the target_folder.
If a buffer_folder is specified, the messages will be copied to the buffer_folder before deleting from the target_folder. This is useful if you want to quarantine and review the candidate deletions.
Unsubscribing from senders while you accumulate your sender keywords will help reduce the amount of future emails - hopefully.
