[imapfilter-devel] Improving Filter Writing Effeciency

[Philippe LeCavalier]

Got it. Works like a charm!

What about if I reply from my own account by mistake(common occurrence)
and want to filter mail from my own INBOX.Sent folder to their respected
folders, can I...

for _, account1 do         
account1.Sent:contain_subject('[OPEN]') *
account1.Sent:contain_to('domain2.ca'):move_messages(account2['Open']) 
account1.Sent:contain_subject('[OPEN]') *
account1.Sent:contain_to('domain3.ca'):move_messages(account3['Open']) 
end

That's prob. all wrong but I think you can see the idea?
