Email filter

Managing email can be tricky, especially if you have more than one account. If you access your mail from more than one location (that is, from more than one desktop or mobile app), managing your email rules can be trickier still. If your mail system doesn't support rules stored on the server, you're left deciding where to put the rules so that they'll run most often. With this project, we'll develop an application that will allow us to author a variety of rules and then run them via an optional background process to keep your mail properly curated at all times.

A sample rules file may look something like this:

    [ 
      { 
        "serverName": "mail.server.com", 
        "serverPort": "993", 
        "useSsl": true, 
        "userName": "me@example.com", 
        "password": "password", 
        "rules": [ 
           {"type": "move", 
               "sourceFolder": "Inbox", 
               "destFolder": "Folder1", 
               "matchingText": "someone@example.com"}, 
            {"type": "delete", 
               "sourceFolder": "Ads", 
               "olderThan": 180} 
         ] 
      } 
    ]
