[Feature Request] Integrate Generic Email Support via IMAP #3202
Description
Required prerequisites
- I have searched the Issue Tracker and Discussions that this hasn't already been reported. (+1 or comment there if it has.)
- Consider asking first in a Discussion.
Motivation
Please integrate generic email support into CAMEL using IMAP credential–based access. This integration should allow the framework to connect with any IMAP-compatible email provider (e.g. enterprise-hosted mail servers).
Solution
Functional Reference
Actions (IMAP Email)
- Fetch Emails – Retrieve emails from a folder (supports filters: unread, with attachments, sender, subject)
- Get Email by ID – Retrieve a specific email and its metadata/attachments.
- Send Email – Send an email via SMTP (paired with IMAP credential).
- Reply to Email – Send a reply to an existing email.
- Move Email to Folder – Move or label an email.
- Delete Email – Delete a specified email.
- Download Attachment – Download attachments from an email.
Triggers (IMAP Email)
(This integration design should prioritize robust polling since IMAP does not provide native webhook callbacks.)
- New Email Received – Polling (detects new messages in Inbox).
- New Email Matching Search – Polling (e.g., unread + subject filter, unread + with attachment).
- New Flagged/Starred Email – Polling (detects when an email is flagged/starred).
- New Message in Folder – Polling (detects new messages in a specified folder, e.g., “Support Tickets”).
