Publicerad July 2, 2002, 6:56 p.m. taggat project, email, imap, perl.

Some simple command-line utilities for mail management over imap.

Uppdatering Dec. 18, 2007, 7:50 a.m.:

A new release: imaputil 0.6 is on the ftp server.

The imap-append command is addedd.

Manual page corrections.

Uppdatering Oct. 16, 2006, 5:50 p.m.:

A new release: imaputil 0.5 is on the ftp server.

The imap-quota command is rewritten to actually use the imap protocol with the IMAP QUOTA extension.

All the commands now use $MAILHOST from the environment as the default imap server.

Uppdatering July 29, 2004, noon:

imaputil 0.4 is released. This release builds on imaputil 0.3, which is a merge by Mattias Amnefelt of my code and a similar project by Max Zomborszki.

Relase 0.4 tells the imap server which users mailbox to access, and adds a -u user flag to change it. The imap-du program now got a -x flag to make output suitable for xdu.

In release 0.3, program names was changed from e.g. imdu to more verbose names like imap-du, and imap-quota and imap-listfolders from Max's project was added.

Uppdatering July 9, 2002, noon:

imaputil 0.2 is now released. This release introduces the imdu program, some new options, and a man page for each program.

Uppdatering July 2, 2002, 6:56 p.m.: I have released imaputil 0.1. This is the initial release of imaputil.

Since imap is a nice protocol to handle email messages independent of MUA, some functionality is wanted MUA-independently. imaputil is a few simple perl programs to run in a command line context.

These utilities depend on an external program to connect to the server and take care of the Kerberos and/or SSL stuff. I use imtest from the cyrus-imap package, but it should be easily replaceable.

Programs

imap-from

Lists unread messages in a specified set of folders. Each unread message is displayed on a line with the from address (optionally real-name only) and the subject.

Mime-escaped strings are decoded (at least for quoted printable).

imap-du

Calculates the size of folders, like the classic du Unix command. Whether it displays the size of just each folder or each folder with sub folders, is optional.

imap-msgchk

List your folders, with total and unread number of messages in each.

imap-quota

Report your usage and quota of mail storage, as reported by the IMAP QUOTA extension.

imap-append

Appends one or more files (messages) to a folder on the imap server, creating the folder if necessary.
