Anyone know of any good email clients that are cross platform that allow you to apply mail rules, recently switched my email hosting who use round cube but if I want to set mail rules I have to pay an additional £15 a year for shell access. Open to options...Main things I can think of are `procmail` or `imapfilter`. imapfilter is configured in Lua, and before I went and hosted my own email, I used it to sort my email hosting on Gandi.. -- Kind regards, Dom Rodriguez (shymega)I use Thunderbird.. Native versions for Linux/Windows/Mac. If by rules you mean filters that will also do it for you. Kind regards, Julian+1 from me on Thunderbird .. been using on Windows and Linux for many years now, and apart from the occasional crash (usually caused by PEBKAC and inconsistencies elsewhere) it's been solid for about 5 email accounts on a variety of servers, inc SSL. Filtering is pretty good, albeit not flawless .. if you want to go hardcore, others have mentioned imapfilter and procmail, but the basics are well-covered in Tbird. Best, Michael/veremitz.Thunderbird is used by me for many years. Filters set by incoming email address of which there are many, some general e.g. "xxxx at gmail.com" "yyyy at ISP.com", some on own domain. All have spamassasin as first filter.
Not forgetting - as I recently started using - the Custom Filter option to examine message headers. I use it on this list to filter on List-ID which is not a T'bird default. For anyone interested I use 'List-ID' contains 'Devon' as whatever the LUG is called it's unlikely to ever drop 'Devon' from the name. I also use a standard filter of 'Subject' contains '[LUG]'.
Custom filters are simple to enable: Tools - Message Filters New Filter - or select one to modify.Change the radio button to 'Match any of the following' - even if you only have one rule this is handy because if you later add another you could be scratching your head for ages thinking 'Why the hell isn't th.. d'oh!!'
The drop-down list below usually defaults to Subject. Scroll down to Customise.
Type the new message header exactly. Click Add. It is now in the drop down list so proceed as normal to add the filter.
