emailbot

Library to develop email-based bots.

What does it do?

This library syncs an IMAP folder to disk, and then calls processing functions separately on new and all emails.
It can record its steps in YAML sidecar files next to each email. It uses flock to lock processing steps.

func addDownloadedRecord(_ string, data emailbot.SidecarData) (*emailbot.Record, error) {
    return &emailbot.Record{Time: time.Now(), Key: "synced"}, nil
}
func printDetails(emailFile string, data emailbot.SidecarData) (*emailbot.Record, error) {
    log.Printf("%s: %v", emailFile, data)
