----------------------------------------------------
-- I move my unseen email to a temp folder before
-- I filter it, then move it back.  This works for
-- me because otherwise I noticed it was scanning
-- all of my email every time. That could have been
-- user error though

-- Move new mail to 'FileterEmail'
new_messages = Email.INBOX:is_unseen()
new_messages:move_messages(Email['FileterEmail'])

-- Buy Me Now!!!
messages = Email['FileterEmail']:contain_subject('Sales just for you! do not miss them!') +
           Email['FileterEmail']:contain_subject('[100tb.com] Invoice Notice')
Email['FileterEmail']:mark_seen(messages)
messages:move_messages(Email['SalesCrap'])

-- Place all email back in INBOX
remaining = Email['FileterEmail']:select_all()
remaining:move_messages(Email.INBOX)
