Overview

This node, named "MSIMap," provides professional IMAP email validation and mass checking functionalities. It supports three main operations: validating email login credentials, retrieving inbox statistics, and searching emails by keyword. The "Inbox Count" operation specifically fetches statistics about the inbox of a given email account, such as the number of messages.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Verifying that email account credentials are correct before performing further actions.
  • Monitoring inbox sizes or message counts for reporting or automation purposes.
  • Searching through emails for specific keywords to trigger workflows based on email content.

For example, using the "Inbox Count" operation, a user can automate monitoring of an email inbox's size and trigger alerts if the number of unread messages exceeds a threshold.

Properties

Name Meaning
Email The email address of the account to check or query (e.g., user@example.com).
Password The password for the specified email account, used for authentication.

Output

The output JSON object contains the following fields:

  • operation: The name of the performed operation, here it will be "inboxCount".
  • email: The email address used in the operation.
  • Inbox statistics fields returned by the underlying IMAP library function (the exact structure depends on the external service but typically includes counts like total messages, unread messages, etc.).
  • timestamp: ISO string timestamp indicating when the operation was performed.

If an error occurs and the node is configured to continue on failure, the output JSON will contain:

  • error: The error message describing what went wrong.
  • email: The email address involved.
  • operation: The attempted operation name.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • This node relies on the external msimap-pro package, which provides functions to interact with IMAP servers for login checks, inbox counts, and keyword searches.
  • Requires valid email credentials (email and password) to authenticate against the IMAP server.
  • No explicit API keys or environment variables are required beyond the provided email credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Incorrect email or password will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent connecting to the IMAP server.
    • Unsupported email providers or IMAP configurations might lead to unexpected errors.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unknown operation: <operation>": Indicates an invalid operation parameter; ensure the operation is one of the supported options.
    • Authentication errors typically indicate wrong credentials; verify the email and password.
    • Connection timeouts or network errors suggest checking internet connectivity or firewall settings.

  • To resolve errors, double-check input credentials, ensure the email provider supports IMAP access, and confirm network accessibility.
