postalsys / emailengine
Headless email client that makes IMAP and SMTP resources available over REST. Integrate email accounts with your service with ease!
Tip For human readable logs you can use pino-pretty (npm install -g pino-pretty) by piping EmailEngine output to it: emailengine | pino-pretty
NB! Try to keep the latency between EmailEngine and Redis as low as possible, best if these would run in the same machine or at least in the same DC. EmailEngine runs a separate Redis command for each message in a folder when syncing messages, so if the latency is not low then it takes a long time to sync a folder with a lot of messages,
When authenticating via SMTP use the account Id as the username and SMTP password as the password to send emails using the selected account.
If you do not want to update application settings via API calls then you can provide the initial settings via a command line option (--settings) or environment variable (EENGINE_SETTINGS). The value must be a valid JSON string that could be used against the /settings API endpoint. The behavior is identical to calling the same thing via API, so whatever settings are given are stored in the DB.
