Daily Scan

Urgent keywords (DE/EN/NL)

Configure important patterns in the script or via environment variables.

Sieve Filters (ProtonMail)

Recommended Sieve filter for auto-sorting:

require ["fileinto", "imap4flags"];

# Important emails - flag them
if anyof (
    address :contains "From" ["@bank", "@government"],
    header :contains "Subject" ["Urgent", "Dringend", "Belangrijk"]
) {
    addflag "\\Flagged";
}

# Newsletters - auto-read and move
if anyof (
    address :contains "From" "newsletter@",
    address :contains "From" "noreply@"
) {
    addflag "\\Seen";
    fileinto "Newsletter";
    stop;
}
