Multiple accounts with afew

[dchrzanowski]

One thing I am missing is to setup afew to move messages between folders after tagging. It all works fine with just one account under ~/Mail, however, I want to operate on 3 separate accounts which would be ~/Mail/Account1 ~/Mail/Account2 ~/Mail/Account3

How do I configure afew to move messages based on tags in specific accounts?

I do have a similar setup with multiple accounts, and add account-specific tags via FolderNameFilter.

I use a combination of server-side initial sorting via sieve, and afews MailMover to move mails matching a specific query to another folder (things like moving manually tagged junk to a junk folder). This should also work across accounts, as its just a separate maildir (although I didn't test that on my own)

Please see the docs and report back if something is unclear.

Ok I'll look into setting up FolderNameFilter this seems exactly what I am after. The docs lack an example of how to set this up for multiple accounts. It would be handy to have it there.

So if I use maildir_separator = / as the default delimiter then how do I reference the tags in the mail mover? Account1INBOX Account1-INBOX Account1/INBOX

Thank you very much for your help!

account1/INBOX: 'tag:foo':account2/foodir

should move all mails tagged with foo from account1/INBOX to account2/foodir.

@Grimscythe1983 In case you want to improve the documentation here, pull requests are warmly welcome :-)

I am going to test the multiple account setup as soon as I'll get a chance and I'll write up some docs on that. No bother ;-)

Great, thanks!

I am pleased to inform that the FolderNameFilter works like a charm. I should have some time over the weekend to create a section in the docs for that.
