Finding Mails

[Martin]

Hi there,

I have some wishes, maybe you can help me with the config?
(if it doesn't work with mu4e, maybe you can give me a tool.  I have a
dovecot server with the sieve mailfilter)

For mailing lists (I have an extra emailaddress for that)

- I would like to find all the threads where I asked the question or
postet into it.
- I would like to find direct answers to my mails in the list.
- I would like to mark all threads, where I'm not involved as read by
default.
- I would like to delete all threads where I'm not involved after a
month (because I won't answer then anymore).  Threads where I'm involved
should be kept.
- I would like to mark a thread for deletion as once (instead of every
mail the single way)

Thanks for your help,
Martin

That should be covered by searching for the extra email address.

That's not supported directly, but might be doable with a bit of guile /
shell scripting, if you're determined enough.

That's easily done in mu4e (using 'TD' in headers-view).

Kind regards,
Dirk.
