Package Exports

mail-listener2

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mail-listener2) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Overview

Mail-listener2 library for node.js. Get notification when new email arrived to inbox. Uses IMAP protocol.

We are using these libraries: node-imap, mailparser.

Heavily inspired by mail-listener.

Use

Install

npm install mail-listener2

JavaScript Code:

var MailListener = require("mail-listener2");

var mailListener = new MailListener({
  username: "imap-username",
  password: "imap-password",
  host: "imap-host",
  port: 993, // imap port
  mailbox: "INBOX", // mailbox to monitor
  markSeen: true, // all fetched email willbe marked as seen and not fetched next time
  fetchUnreadOnStart: true // use it only if you want to get all unread email on lib start. Default is `false`
});

mailListener.start(); // start listening

mailListener.stop(); // stop listening

mailListener.on("server:connected", function(){
  console.log("imapConnected");
});

mailListener.on("server:disconnected", function(){
  console.log("imapDisconnected");
});

mailListener.on("error", function(err){
  console.log(err);
});

mailListener.on("mail", function(mail){
  // do something with mail object including attachments
  console.log("emailParsed", mail);
  // mail processing code goes here
});

// it's possible to access imap object from node-imap library for performing additional actions. E.x.
mailListener.imap.move(:msguids, :mailboxes, function(){})

That's easy!
