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:

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.
