I sync my imap accounts using offline imap to dovecot on localhost. And |
| 53 |
dovecot has lucene search. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Thunderbird is configured to use local host dovecot for incoming and for |
| 56 |
outgoing default smtp. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I think you can filter mail using python scripts in offline imap, I am not |
| 59 |
sure. Check docs. |
