Synopsis

lblmail is a small utility used to label an email based on pre-defined rules.

Description

I love mutt and I love more Gmail, but Gmail IMAP sucks because labels will be seen as folders, so if your email belong to more than one label and you mark this email as read in one folder, it will remain unread (If you are using offlineimap of course).

I tried to make offlineimap work together with procmail but I couldn’t get it to work because procmail read an email from stdin and write the mail file by itself, so I had to write something similar to procmail, but a lot simpler of course, with the ability to apply the label directly to the given file path.

Labels are taken from predefined rules written in the settings file.

Requirements

lblmail is written by PHP, so the obvious and only requirement is PHP.

To install lblmail from source you optionally need git (you can get the tarball from github)

Installation

git clone git://github.com/eMxyzptlk/lblmail.git
