IMAP transfer python

Suite à un besoin particulier consistant à importer certains mails depuis ma boîte GMail, qui est plus une boîte à réception de SPAMs qu’autre chose, j’ai conçu un script python qui permet de déplacer des mails d’un compte, suivant un filtre IMAP, vers un autre compte IMAP. Ce script utilise la librairie native imaplib. Celui-ci prend en paramètres un ensemble de stratégies nommées. Chaque stratégie est définie par un compte IMAP source, un compte IMAP destination et un ensemble de filtres ayant pour paramètres:

  • Un filtre IMAP pour la source
  • Un répertoire de destination
  • Un booléen définissant si vous souhaitez détruire les messages sources Note: si vous utilisez ce script dans un cron il convient alors de les détruire de la source auquel cas les mails seront dupliqués dans la destination

Le script est sous licence BSD, vous pouvez donc en faire ce que vous voulez, du moment que vous respectez la licence. Vous le trouverez à jour sur Github. Et la copie locale du script ici même:
