ImapFlow

IMAP Client for Node.js extracted from NodemailerApp project.

The focus for ImapFlow is to provide easy to use API over IMAP.

Source

Source code is available from Github.

Usage

First install the module from npm:

$ npm install imapflow

next import the ImapFlow class into your script:

const { ImapFlow } = require('imapflow');

All ImapFlow methods use Promises, so you need to wait using await or wait for the then() method to fire until you get the response.

const { ImapFlow } = require('imapflow');
const client = new ImapFlow({
    host: 'ethereal.email',
    port: 993,
    secure: true,
    auth: {
        user: '[e-mail]',
        pass: 'mW6e4wWWnEd3H4hT5B'
    }
});

const main = async () => {
    // wait until client connects and authorizes
    await client.connect();

    // select a mailbox
    await client.mailboxOpen('INBOX');

    // fetch latest message source
    let message = await client.fetchOne('*', { source: true });
    console.log(message.source.toString());

    // list subjects for all messages
    // uid value is always included in FETCH response, envelope strings are in unicode.
    for await (let message of client.fetch('1:*', { envelope: true })) {
        console.log(`${message.uid}: ${message.envelope.subject}`);
    }

    // log out and close connection
    await client.logout();
};

main().catch(err => console.error(err));
