Hopefully one of the gurus here can help with this one. I reguarly
receive over 4000 (yes, 4000) pieces of non-spam email each day, via
an IMAP server. I desperately need a means of filtering/sorting my
email based on the contents of the message body (rather than just the
header). As far as I can tell, this isn't possible with thunderbird
when using IMAP (only POP). Anyone know of any reliable means of
doing this with a different full-featured email client?
You could try going with procmail too. If your criteria is simple enough
for a Thunderbird email filter to be able to do, then procmail should
definitely have enough power to sort your mail correctly. An added bonus
is that it's all sorted before you even start Thunderbird: you won't
have to wait while TB downloads all of the messages, processes them,
moves the messages, and then finally lets you get around to reading your
mail. There are plenty of tutorials on how to make a procmail filter,
and you don't even have to be an administrator to set up procmail (but
you do need terminal or remote access). You didn't say whether the
server is your own or if its on your ISP's or something. If it is your
ISP's, then you can disregard my suggestion.
