Filter Folder

A folder to access virtual folder which collects all messages that satisfy a condition.

In the condition part, you can specify following.

  1. Partial filter: `first:number', `last:number' first: number messages are picked from top of folder. last: number messages are picked from bottom of folder. Example: 
    /last:10/-fj.os.linux -> Latest 10 messages from -fj.os.linux are picked.
/first:20/%inbox      -> First 20 messages from %inbox are picked.
  2. Date filter: `since:date', `before:date' since: only messages arrived since date are picked. before: only messages arrived before date are picked. You can specify following as date. 
    yesterday ->  a day before today.
lastweek  ->  same day of last week.
lastmonth ->  same day of last month.
lastyear  ->  same day of last year.
numberdaysago -> number days ago. (e.x. '3daysago')
day-month-year -> specify date directly (ex. 1-Nov-1998)
    Example: 
    /since:3daysago/+inbox -> messages arrived since 3 days ago in +inbox
                          are picked.
/before:yesterday/+inbox -> messages arrived before yesterday in +inbox
                          are picked.
  3. Field filter: `field:value' All messages that have field and its value is value are picked. field and value are case insensitive. Example: 
    /from:teranisi/+inbox -> In +inbox, messages which have From: field
                         and its value includes "teranisi" string are picked.
/body:foo/%inbox      -> In %inbox, messages which have "foo" text
                         are picked.
  4. Compound condition If you combine conditions by character `|', it is considered as OR condition. `&' is considered as AND condition, likewise. Condition can be grouped by parentheses (`(', and `)'). `/tocc:xxxx/' is an abbreviation of `/to:xxxx|cc:xxxx/'. `/!tocc:xxxx/' is an abbreviation of `/!to:xxxx&!cc:xxxx/'. Example: 
    /from:teranisi&!to:teranisi/+inbox
                      -> In +inbox, messages are picked if the message's
                         From: field includes "teranisi" and
                         To: field doesn't include "teranisi".

/tocc:"Yuuichi Teranishi"/+inbox
                      -> In +inbox, messages are picked if the
                         message's To: field or Cc: field includes
                         "Yuuichi Teranishi".

/(from:yt|from:teranisi)&subject:report/+inbox
                      -> In +inbox, messages are picked if the message's
                         From: field includes "yt" or "teranisi", and
                        Subject includes "report".

Tip for string description:

Space character, `"', `/',`)',`|' and `&' should be enclosed with `"' in value string. (`"' should be escaped with `\' in it). You can enclose the string with `"' even it does not contain these characters.

Advanced example: 

*%inbox,/from:teranisi/%inbox@server
       -> Messages in %inbox or
          message is in the %inbox@server folder and it's From field
          includes "teranisi" are collected.

/last:100//to:teranisi/*+inbox,%inbox
       -> Latest 100 messages which is in the +inbox or %inbox folder
          and To: field matches "teranisi".

/from:hogehoge//last:20//tocc:teranisi/%#mh/inbox@localhost
       -> Pick messages which have From: field and it includes "hogehoge"
          from latest 20 messages in the %#mh/inbox@localhost
          and To: or Cc: field includes "teranisi".
