gmailctl

Does it support email filters? I'd love to manage my gmail filters programmatically or use a configuration file to manage them so I can reuse the filters across multiple emails. Edit: there is a separate tool for this for gmail https://github.com/mbrt/gmailctl

I've used https://github.com/mbrt/gmailctl/ to tame my inbox with some degrees of success, but gmail filters are just so flaky. Next step in my things-to-try list is to just download the inbox via imap and sort it out locally.

This looks useful! For "Declarative configuration for Gmail filters", see also https://github.com/mbrt/gmailctl

Author here. I understand your concerns, and in fact one of the last things I added is unit tests: https://github.com/mbrt/gmailctl/blob/master/README.md#tests Getting things right is not easy, especially in complex languages like jsonnet. In my own experience though, every time you limit the expressivity of config languages you end up inventing even more complex workarounds in the end (e.g. external templating and things like that).

I use something like this that a Googler shared with me. It's super helpful to get around the way Gmail doesn't really let you order rules. This helps you generate mutually exclusive rules, so the ordering doesn't matter. https://github.com/mbrt/gmailctl/blob/master/README.md#chain...

I have a soft spot for https://jsonnet.org/ myself. https://github.com/mbrt/gmailctl uses it for example.
