NAME

Transform::Alert::Input::IMAP - Transform alerts from IMAP messages

SYNOPSIS

   # In your configuration
   <Input test>
      Type      IMAP
      Interval  60  # seconds (default)

      <ConnOpts>
         ParsedFolder  Finished

         # See Mail::IMAPClient Parameters
         Server   mail.foobar.org
         User     bob
         Password mail4fun
         Folder   Inbox

         # ...etc...
      </ConnOpts>
      # <Template> tags...
   </Input>

DESCRIPTION

This input type will read a IMAP mailbox and process each message through the input template engine. If it finds a match, the results of the match are sent to one or more outputs, depending on the group configuration.

See Mail::IMAPClient for a list of the ConnOpts section parameters.

The ParsedFolder option is special. If set, it will move all parsed messages to that folder. If not, it will rely on the Unread flag to figure out which messages have been parsed or not parsed.

OUTPUTS

Text

Full text of the message, including headers.

Preparsed Hash

   {
      # Header pairs, as per Email::Simple::Header
      Email::Simple->new($msg)->header_obj->header_pairs,

      BODY => $str,
   }

CAVEATS

You are responsible for setting up any archiving/deletion protocols for the mailbox, as this module will save everything (and potentially fill up the box).

This class is persistent, keeping the Mail::IMAPClient object until shutdown. However, it will still disconnect on close.
