noclutter

Small Go Tool to delete emails via command line on a remote IMAP server when the email client becomes unresponsive because of too many emails.

Requirements - Go must be installed. Download From https://golang.org/doc/install

To install, simply use go get github.com/akshaykhairmode/noclutter

This will install go binary in your $GOBIN (If its set) or at ~/go/bin/noclutter

Then you can run the below command to execute

Example : $GOBIN/noclutter -s=imap.gmail.com -p=993 [email protected]

This will prompt for a password, and display all the available mailboxes, we can then select a mailbox and provide subject search string which will provide number of emails matched, after user confirmation it will proceed for deletion.

Options

• -f force, allows insecure tls certificate
• -s imap server host
• -p imap server port
• -u username / email id
• -h prints the available options
• -e env mode, picks password from NOCLUTTER_PASS env variable

Currently email filtering works only on subject.
