Overview

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

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

Use

Install

npm install mail-listener

Code

MailListener = require "mail-listener"

mailListener = new MailListener
  username: "imap-username"
  password: "imap-password"
  host: "imap-host"
  port: 993 # imap port
  secure: true # use secure connection


 # start listener. You can stop it calling `stop method`
mailListener.start()

# subscribe to server connected event
mailListener.on "server:connected", ->
  console.log "imap connected"

# subscribe to error events
mailListener.on "error", (err) ->
  console.log "error happened", err

# mail arrived and was parsed by parser 
mailListener.on "mail:parsed", (mail) ->
  # do something with mail object including attachments
  console.log "parsed email with attachment", mail.attachments.length
  ...

That's easy!
