Trashes Useless emails based on a given filter
The EmailDeleter goes through all the emails in a particular Gmail mailbox, and moves them to trash if the sender matches a specified regex.
python3 git (optional)
Start by defining parameters in the config.jsonfile. The options for this file are described below:
"whitelisted_senders":{
}
The whitelisted_senders object defines a list of senders whose emails to you should never be deleted by the program.
Add them by giving them an index and an email address, as a key/value pair: "0": "example@example.com"
"credentials": {
"email": "example@example.com",
"password": "password"
}
The credentials object defines your email address and password to be used by the program.
"imap_server": "imap.example.com"
The imap_server value defines the IMAP server that the program will use. Defaults to imap.gmail.com.
"mailbox": "inbox"
The mailbox that the program should search. Defaults to inbox.
"regex_filter": "regex"
The regex used to match sender addresses. NOTE: All backslashes in the regex need to be escaped with another backslash, even if you're already using many backslashes. For example, this regex: test\\regex would become test\\\\regex.
Unfortunately, this does make regexes more complicated, but is necessary for the JSON parsing.
To run the program, run git clone https://github.com/naclcaleb/EmailDeleter && cd EmailDeleter, then run python3 main.py.
(On Windows, you will have to specify the path to the Python executable, unless you have added Python to your PATH)
