An IMAP client for R

mRpostman is a session-based IMAP client that implements the full command sets of the IMAP4rev2 (RFC 9051) and IMAP4rev1 (RFC 3501) protocols, along with the optional extensions registered with IANA, allowing virtually all e-mail operations to be performed from within R, paving the way for e-mail data analysis.

Options

mRpostman.raw_debug

If TRUE, prints the raw dialogue of the second (event) connection used by idle(), append_msgs(), and the other raw-socket commands, in the same spirit as verbose = TRUE for the main connection. Default is FALSE.
