[imapfilter-devel] Action on a Group of Folders

[Lefteris Chatzimparmpas]

Hello

Are those mailboxes named like that with a dot in the beginning? Looks
strange...

Here's a similar example that should work if you folders "personal" and
"business", or "INBOX.personal" and "INBOX.business" if your server's
hierarchy starts from INBOX and below:

	account = IMAP {
		server = 'imap',
		username = 'user',
		password = 'password'
	}
	autoread = {
		'personal/cron',
		'business/cron',
		'personal/forums/mailinglist',
		'business/forums'
	}
	results = Set {}
	for _, folder in ipairs(autoread) do
		results = results + account[folder]:select_all()
	end
	results:mark_seen()
