Hi.I am looking for a tool that reads a mail from its input and stores it into an IMAP mailbox: cat mail_file | imapupload imaps://george@server/Mail/incoming The goal would be to provide our users an alternative to forwarding their mail to another mail provider that we will have to forbid lest the other mail providers accuse us of spamming. I got curl to work (I did not know that curl could do IMAP): curl --user george --url imaps://server/Mail/testcurl --upload-file /tmp/mail Unfortunately, curl hardcodes that mail uploaded that way are seen: /* Send the APPEND command */ result = imap_sendf(data, "APPEND %s (\\Seen) {%" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T "}", mailbox, data->state.infilesize); … and I need them to be new. Alternatively, I have considered using GNU mailutils: movemail /tmp/mail imaps://george@server/Mail/testcurl This time, the issue is it insists on finding the password in ~/.mu-tickets without an option to use another file or preferably a pipe. Does anybody here have an idea to make all this better?
I can think of a couple of options."imapfilter" is a program intended to filter messages on an IMAP server. The program handles the hard work of talking to an IMAP server (i.e. the IMAP protocol), allowing the user to write a lua script which does the important work. It shouldn't be too hard to write a lua script which reads the message from stdin and then passes it to the imapfilter functions for storage.
Alternatively, most programming languages offer some form of high-level imap library. Depending on your predilection, you could write a Perl/Python/whatever script to do this.
Thanks in advance,
