ImapNotification

Lightweight utility to monitor an IMAP mailbox and emit notifications when new messages arrive. Intended to be used as a local helper, service, or integration point for scripts/webhooks.

Features

Monitor one or more IMAP accounts/folders
Deliver notifications via command hook, webhook, or stdout
Support for polling and IMAP IDLE (when available)
Basic filtering by folder, sender, or subject patterns

Quick start

Clone the repository:

git clone <repo-url>
cd ImapNotification

Provide configuration (environment variables or YAML/JSON). Example env vars:

IMAP_HOST=imap.example.com
IMAP_PORT=993
IMAP_TLS=true
IMAP_USER=user@example.com
IMAP_PASS=yourpassword
MAILBOX=INBOX
POLL_INTERVAL=30
NOTIFY_COMMAND=/path/to/notify-script.sh
USE_IDLE=true

Or a minimal YAML example (config.yml):

accounts:
    - host: imap.example.com
        port: 993
        tls: true
        user: user@example.com
        pass: secret
        mailboxes:
            - INBOX
settings:
    poll_interval: 30
    use_idle: true
    notify_command: /usr/local/bin/notify.sh

Run the program:

./imap-notification --config config.yml

(or use the provided run/build instructions for this project)

Configuration

host, port, tls, user, pass: IMAP connection details
mailboxes: list of folders to monitor
poll_interval: seconds between checks when not using IDLE
use_idle: enable IMAP IDLE if server supports it
notify_command / webhook: how to deliver notifications
filters: optional sender/subject/folder filters

Logging & debugging

Enable verbose logging to troubleshoot connection or authentication issues.
Check firewall and IMAP server settings if connections fail.
