Custom Filter Framework

Rules

A single rule should be able to match multiple things and have multipl actions, i.e.:

Example

Hdr1: regexp
Hdr2: regexp
<action1>
<action2>

Misc

• Pseudo header for To/CC. Some way to say "directly to me" that works with BCC.

Use cases

• Simple To: me@example.com -> add label @Me
• From: wife only To: me vs From: wife & To: multiple people
• To: important CC: unimportant still gets @Important
• Mix AND, OR and negation in a single rule.

Actions

• Add label
• Mark read

Threading

jwz or something simple first? gmail has a nice property of being able to see message / thread ID by default, and then fetch by message or thread ID. Fetch by thread ID only way to do batch processing via API.

Old Notes

• Add fast_header table that is just the values we`d want to search on (i.e. the headers we hash on, plus whatever is needed for jwz threading).
• Investigate stored procedures that update fast_header automatically when we we add bulk headers to table header
