• milhouse@work.tld
• milhouse@home.tld
• milhouse@linux.tld

getmail

For each address Milhouse has one setup like "~/.getmail/config/work.rc"

[retriever]
type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
server = imap.server.tld
username = user
password = password
mailboxes = ("INBOX","Archive","Trash", "Spam", "Sent Items")
[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/bin/procmail
arguments = ("-f", "%(sender)", "~/.procmail/work.rc")
[options]
verbose = 1
read_all = false
delete = false
delete_after = 7
message_log = ~/.getmail/log

Milhouse can decide for each account, which mailboxes should be used. How long the emails shall stay on the server and which rules should be apply (procmail).

procmail

For each address Milhouse has a procmail config-file ~/.procmail/work.rc:

DATE_YEAR_MONTH=`date +'%Y-%m'`
MAILDIR=$HOME/.maildir
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/work.log
LOGABSTRACT=yes
VERBOSE=on
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/Accounts/Work/Archiv-${DATE_YEAR_MONTH}/

For this Work-Account he likes to have the mails in an Archiv-Folder like:

• Archiv-2018-01/
• Archiv-2018-02/
• Archiv-2018-03/

procmail rules

Milhouse use his linux adress to subscribe to Mailinglisten like neomutt, debian,...
