What I want to do is to is export just the headers of emails on IMAP folders with an Excel VBA macro so that I can write filters to import into Thunderbird for deletion of old new letters and things of that nature, keeping only the important emails.

Knowing the message filter file format would also be nice considering that I can then just mass edit the filters without needing to recreate them each pass.

A substantial portion of email spam that I receive has a couple of characteristics: - the subject line includes "Sonic", and - the sender is plainly not Sonic.

For example:

Return-Path: <live1@tomokawasaki.or.jp> Received: from tomokawasaki.or.jp (tomokawasaki.or.jp [122.1.223.161]) by mwb-sdgw-mts-005c1.ocn.ad.jp (Postfix) with ESMTP id 063B61400008F for <ronks@sonic.net>; Sun, 19 Jul 2026 07:07:06 +0900 (JST) From: =?UTF-8?B?U29uaWMg0JLRlmxs0ZbQv2c=?= <live1@tomokawasaki.or.jp> (From translates to "Sonic Billing" here; in other spam it is cleartext) Subject: Automatic Payment Unsuccessful To: <ronks@sonic.net>

I am wondering if it is possible to construct a filter that says basically: If Subject includes Sonic AND From does not include Sonic Then Send to Trash (or mark as spam or whatever)

Can this be done?
