IMAP Manager

Manage mail via IMAP (works with IONOS or any IMAP server): search, add keywords, move, copy, delete

Overview

This node manages email messages on an IMAP server by performing operations such as removing keywords (tags) from a specific email message identified by its UID in a specified mailbox. It is useful for organizing and managing email metadata, for example, removing outdated or incorrect tags from emails in an inbox or other mail folders.

Use Case Examples

  1. Removing specific keywords from an email message in the INBOX to update its categorization or status.
  2. Cleaning up tags from emails in a project folder to maintain accurate labeling.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mailbox The mailbox or folder where the email message is located, e.g., INBOX.
UID The unique identifier of the email message from which keywords will be removed.
Keywords (comma separated) A comma-separated list of keywords (tags) to remove from the specified email message.

Output

JSON

  • mailbox - The mailbox where the operation was performed.
  • uid - The unique identifier of the email message affected.
  • operation - The operation performed, in this case 'removeKeywords'.
  • keywords - The list of keywords that were removed from the message.

Dependencies

  • An IMAP server with credentials (host, port, user, password) to connect and perform operations.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include missing or invalid UID or keywords parameters, which will cause the node to throw errors indicating these are required.
  • Connection issues to the IMAP server due to incorrect credentials or network problems.
  • Errors when the specified mailbox does not exist or the UID does not correspond to any message in the mailbox.
