** Create Email folders and rules
*** Rules for mailing lists
A common situation with email is that you may be subscribed to various mailing lists and want incoming email from those to be automatically grouped into a separate folder for each list.
We can make a script to make adding mailing list rules easy:
@ -1190,7 +1191,7 @@ chmod +x /usr/bin/mailinglistrule
Now we can add a new mailing list rule with the following, where /myusername/ is your username, /mailinglistname/ is the name of the mailing list (with no spaces) and /subjecttag/ is the tag which usually appears within square brackets in the subject line of emails from the list.
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
mailinglistrule myusername mailinglistname subjecttag
mailinglistrule [myusername] [mailinglistname] [subjecttag]
#+END_SRC
Repeat this command for as many mailing lists as you need. Then edit your local Mutt configuration.

Then save and exit.
*** Rules for specific email addresses
You can also make a script which will allow you to add specific email addresses to a folder.
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
emacs /usr/bin/emailrule
#+END_SRC
Add the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
#!/bin/bash
MYUSERNAME=$1
EMAILADDRESS=$2
MAILINGLIST=$3
MUTTRC=/home/$MYUSERNAME/.muttrc
PM=/home/$MYUSERNAME/.procmailrc
LISTDIR=/home/$MYUSERNAME/Maildir/$MAILINGLIST
if [ ! -d "$LISTDIR" ]; then
mkdir -m 700 $LISTDIR
mkdir -m 700 $LISTDIR/tmp
mkdir -m 700 $LISTDIR/new
mkdir -m 700 $LISTDIR/cur
fi
chown -R $MYUSERNAME:$MYUSERNAME $LISTDIR
echo "" >> $PM
echo ":0" >> $PM
echo " * ^From: $EMAILADDRESS" >> $PM
echo "$LISTDIR/new" >> $PM
chown $MYUSERNAME:$MYUSERNAME $PM
if [ ! -f "$MUTTRC" ]; then
cp /etc/Muttrc $MUTTRC
chown $MYUSERNAME:$MYUSERNAME $MUTTRC
fi
#+END_SRC
Save and exit, then make the script executable.
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
chmod +x /usr/bin/emailrule
#+END_SRC
Then to add a particular email address to a folder run the command:
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
emailrule [myusername] [emailaddress] [foldername]
#+END_SRC
If you want any mail from the given email address to be deleted then set the /foldername/ to /Trash/.
To ensure that the folder appears within Mutt.
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
emacs /home/myusername/.muttrc
#+END_SRC
Search for the *mailboxes* variable and add entries for the mailing lists you just created. For example:
#+BEGIN_SRC: bash
mailboxes = =Sent =foldername
#+END_SRC
Then save and exit.
