Overview of IMAP#

The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is a mail protocol used for
accessing email on a remote web server.

IMAP provides a way to access email stored on a server, allowing you to read,
write, and delete emails from your account.

IMAP is a popular protocol for accessing email, and is supported by most email
providers.

Here are some things you can build using the IMAP API:

A web-based email client
A desktop email client
A mobile email client
A command-line email client
A script to automatically delete old emails
A script to automatically forward emails to another address
A script to automatically save attachments to your computer

Connect IMAP#

import { once } from "events";
import imaps from "imap-simple";
import cycle from "cycle";

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    imap: {
      type: "app",
      app: "imap",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const { host, port, email, password } = this.imap.$auth;

    const connection = await imaps.connect({
      imap: {
        host,
        port,
        user: email,
        password,
        tls: true,
        tlsOptions: { servername: host },
        authTimeout: 3000
      },
    });

    const boxes = await connection.getBoxes();
    // Filter out circular references to parents
    const filteredBoxes = cycle.decycle(boxes);
    $.export("results", filteredBoxes);

    connection.end();
    await once(connection.imap, "end");
  },
})
