- Add pflag dependency for POSIX/GNU-style command line parsing
- Replace Go standard flag package with pflag for better UX
- Implement long options with double dashes (--config, --max-messages, --help)
- Add short option aliases with single dashes (-c, -m, -h)
- Update help message with proper formatting and application description
- Update all documentation to reflect new flag syntax
- Update test scripts to use new command line format
GNU-style options provide better usability:
- Long descriptive options with --flag-name format
- Short single-character aliases for common options
- Standard help flag behavior with --help/-h
- Compatible with shell completion and standard conventions
Command line interface now supports:
- --config/-c FILE: Path to configuration file
- --max-messages/-m N: Message processing limit per mailbox
- --help/-h: Show help message and exit
All existing functionality preserved with improved command line experience.

- Remove obsolete CouchDB design documents (webmail.json, dashboard.json)
- Clean up webmail-related code from couch/couch.go (WebmailViews, CreateWebmailViews, etc.)
- Update documentation to focus on core mail-to-CouchDB storage functionality
- Add Future Plans section describing planned webmail viewer as separate component
- Apply go fmt formatting and ensure code quality standards
- Update test documentation to show raw CouchDB API access patterns
- Remove compiled binary from repository
This refactor simplifies the codebase to focus on its core purpose: efficiently
backing up emails from IMAP to CouchDB. The webmail interface will be developed
as a separate, optional component to maintain clean separation of concerns.

## Wildcard Folder Selection
- Add support for wildcard patterns (`*`, `?`, `[abc]`) using filepath.Match
- Implement special case: `"*"` selects ALL available folders
- Support for complex include/exclude pattern combinations
- Maintain backwards compatibility with exact string matching
- Enable subfolder pattern matching (e.g., `Work/*`, `*/Drafts`)
## Keyword Filtering
- Add SubjectKeywords, SenderKeywords, RecipientKeywords to MessageFilter config
- Implement case-insensitive keyword matching across message fields
- Support multiple keywords per filter type with inclusive OR logic
- Add ShouldProcessMessage method for message-level filtering
## Enhanced Test Environment
- Create comprehensive wildcard pattern test scenarios
- Add 12 test folders covering various pattern types: Work/*, Important/*, Archive/*, exact matches
- Implement dedicated wildcard test script (test-wildcard-patterns.sh)
- Update test configurations to demonstrate real-world wildcard usage patterns
- Enhance test data generation with folder-specific messages for validation
## Documentation
- Create FOLDER_PATTERNS.md with comprehensive wildcard examples and use cases
- Update CLAUDE.md to reflect all implemented features and current status
- Enhance test README with detailed wildcard pattern explanations
