This guide explains how to create rules sorting to automatically classify your incoming emails on Infomaniak according to certain conditions.

Preamble

• These rules allow for the following automatic actions:
  • Remove or move messages from e-mail addresses you don't want to see anymore.
  • Transfer to your spouse e-mails from an e-mail address so that both of you can receive them.
  • Copy messages that contain a specific keyword to a folder.
  • etc.
• In contrast to the Proposed sorting rules within software/mail clients (Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail...), these rules will act directly on the server of your mailboxes even before IMAP connection.
• You can make one. model for the entire address of your Mail Service.
• If you are using a POP-configured mail client/software, in parallel with Mail, messages classified in folders will no longer be downloaded by your application because the POP protocol only tracks messages in your main inbox. To view classified messages, it will be necessary to use the IMAP protocol or only Mail Infomaniak.

Access rules from the Mail Infomaniak Web app

Prerequisites

• Have an email offer paid (offers) free are limited to Standard mode without the ability to create a filter to transfer an e-mail to another e-mail address e.g.).
• Having permission to managing the rules: if you had been invited on Web app Mail Infomaniak (online service) mail.infomaniak.com)in order to manage your address, it is possible that the Mail Service Manager will have youwithdrawn this right from its admin account.

Configure Filters & Sorting Rules

Create a new rule in mode Standard

• Click on the button Add Rule in mode Standard to create a new rule using a creation assistant/form:
  
• The different conditions available for sorting filters are presented in this other guide.
• Once a filter has been created, click on Continue to activate it.

Add or modify a rule in mode Standard

If there are already sorting filters, the button ‍ to add it is at the top right of the table:

These settings can be changed when you want by clicking on the icon pencil located to the right of the element concerned.

Create a new rule in mode Advanced (expert)

• Advanced mode allows you to configure sorting rules directly from a script in Sieve language.
• It is possible to import Sieve files via the button.
• By activating this mode, existing rules will be retained but disabled.

First example of advanced sorting

Here is a simple example of a command using this language:

require ["fileinto"];
if address :contains "from" "facebook.com" {
    fileinto "fb";
} elsif header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*" {
    fileinto "nl";
} else {
    keep;
}

Explanations:

1. Loading the required extensions : use require ["fileinto"]; to indicate that you will use the function fileinto.
2. Filtering Facebook Messages : use if address :contains "from" "facebook.com" to check if the sender's address contains "facebook.com"; if yes, the message is classified in the folder "fb" with fileinto "fb";.
3. Filtering messages with an unsubscribe link : use elsif header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*" to check if the "List-Unsubscribe" header is present in the message; if so, the message is filed in the "nl" folder with fileinto "nl";.
4. Retention of other messages : use else { keep; } to keep all other messages that do not meet the above criteria.

Attention:

• If you need to mention a subfolder, use the separator / (as in the second example), but it is not necessary to specify INBOX in your codes
• Make sure the folders "fb" and "nl" already exist in your inbox; otherwise, messages may not be sorted correctly
• The filter address :contains "from" "facebook.com" works correctly for addresses that contain "facebook.com"in the "from" field
• The filter header :matches "List-Unsubscribe" "*" check only the presence of the "List-Unsubscribe" header, not its contents

Second example of advanced sorting

This code modifies the object according to theSender (adds a prefix to the object when an e-mail passes the filter, e.g.):

require ["fileinto", "editheader", "variables", "regex"];
if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV" {
    if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)" {
        deleteheader "Subject";
        addheader "Subject" "${1}${3}";
    } else {
        # Ajouter un préfixe si l'objet ne correspond pas déjà au modèle
        deleteheader "Subject";
        addheader "Subject" "[SL-Devel] ${1}";
    }
    fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel";
}

Explanations:

1. Extensions required :
   1. fileinto : to classify messages in folders.
   2. editheader : to change the headers of emails.
   3. variables : to use variables in expressions.
   4. regex : for regular expressions.
2. Condition on sender :
   1. if address "sender" "owner-scientific-linux-devel at LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV" Check if the sender matches.
3. Condition on the object :
   1. if header :regex "subject" "((Re|Fwd): *)\\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\\] *(.*)" : check if the object corresponds to the specified model.
   2. deleteheader "Subject"; and addheader "Subject" "${1}${3}"; : deletes the existing object and adds a new object with the captured parts.
4. Adding a prefix if the object does not already match the model :
   1. addheader "Subject" "[SL-Devel] ${1}"; : adds a prefix "[SL-Devel]" to the object if it is not already present.
5. Classification of message :
   1. fileinto "Mail List/SL-Devel"; : Classifies messages in the "Mail List/SL-Devel" folder.

Attention:

• Make sure the folder "Mail List/SL-Devel" already exists in your inbox.
• Check that the script correctly modifies the subject of the emails to add or adjust the prefix if necessary.
