NAME

       sb_imapfilter - An IMAP filter

DESCRIPTION

       An  IMAP  message  box  is  scanned  and  all  non-scored  messages  are scored and (where
       necessary) filtered.

   Usage:
              sb_imapfilter [options]

              note: option values with spaces in them must be enclosed

              in double quotes

              options:

       -p     dbname  : pickled training database filename

       -d     dbname  : dbm training database filename

       -t     : train contents of spam folder and ham folder

       -c     : classify inbox

       -h     : display this message

       -v     : verbose mode

       -P     : security option to prompt for imap password,

              rather than look in options["imap", "password"]

       -e y/n : expunge/purge messages on exit (y) or not (n)

              -i debuglvl : a somewhat mysterious imaplib debugging level

              (4 is a good level, and suitable for bug reports)

       -l minutes
              : period of time between filtering operations

       -b     : Launch a web browser showing the user interface.

              -o section:option:value :

              set [section, option] in the options database to value

              Classify inbox, with dbm database

              sb_imapfilter -c -d bayes.db

              Train Spam and Ham, then classify inbox, with dbm database

              sb_imapfilter -t -c -d bayes.db

              Train Spam and Ham only, with pickled database

              sb_imapfilter -t -p bayes.db

   Warnings:
              o We never delete mail, unless you use the -e/purge option, but we do

              mark a lot as deleted, and your mail client might remove that for you.  We  try  to
              only  mark as deleted once the moved/altered message is correctly saved, but things
              might go wrong.  We *strongly* recommend that you try this script out on mail  that
              you can recover from somewhere else, at least at first.
