Your project sounds cool - is it possible to process email with Lua scripts, so that I could use a mailbox as a business process queue that is also user-friendly, while having a suite of Lua apps processing the mailboxes? If so, care to share details of your project if its open/available?
- stevekemp 6y agoIt wouldn't be impossible to iterate over a series of mails, and get the message-bodies, but it would be a bit fiddly and annoying as the program was more designed as an email-client. https://github.com/lumail/lumail/ https://github.com/lumail/lumail/ https://lumail.org/ https://lumail.org/ Honestly I'd probably write something in perl/go/similar to just walk over a remote IMAP mailbox: * Search for messages that are unread, or which don't have a given tag. * Process each one. * Mark as read, or add a tag. (I actually did something like that recently for processing DMARC reports.)
- fit2rule 6y agoNeat project - thanks for sharing. I really like the idea of having a Lua-backed email app which can be used to do mail processing ..
