node-red-node-email =================== Node-RED nodes to send and receive simple emails. **Note** : This is the same node as was in the core of Node-RED. As of v0.10.8 it will be installed from here instead. Pre-requisite ------------- You will need valid email credentials for your email server. Install ------- Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically `~/.node-red` npm i node-red-node-email Usage ----- Nodes to send and receive simple emails. ### Input Repeatedly gets a **single email** from an IMAP server and forwards on as a msg if not already seen. The subject is loaded into `msg.topic` and `msg.payload` is the plain text body. If there is text/html then that is returned in `msg.html`. `msg.from` and `msg.date` are also set if you need them. Additionally `msg.header` contains the complete header object including **to**, **cc** and other potentially useful properties. **Note:** this node *only* gets the most recent single email from the inbox, so set the repeat (polling) time appropriately. Uses the *imap* npm module. ### Output Sends the `msg.payload` as an email, with a subject of `msg.topic`. The default message recipient can be configured in the node, if it is left blank it should be set using the `msg.to` property of the incoming message. The payload can be html format. If the payload is a binary buffer then it will be converted to an attachment. The filename should be set using `msg.filename`. Optionally `msg.description` can be added for the body text. Alternatively you may provide `msg.attachments` which should contain an array of one or more attachments in nodemailer format. Uses the *nodemailer* npm module.
