Description

Bridge request

A Bridge which gives out the last mails from an pop or IMAP Account would be very nice. I already tried mail2rss.php, but it didn't work.
With that, you could easily convert Newsletters into RSS.

General information

  • Host URI for the bridge: github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

  • Which information would you like to see?
    The E-Mails with full context

  • Which of the following parameters do you expect?

    • Title (Subject)
    • URI
    • Author (sender)
    • Timestamp (mail from)
    • Content (the content of the mail)
    • Enclosures (Attachments)
    • Categories

Options

  • Limit number of returned items
    • Default limit: 20
  • Load full articles
    • Cache articles (articles are stored in a local cache on first request): yes
    • Cache timeout (max = 24 hours): 1 hour
  • Balance requests (RSS-Bridge uses cached versions to reduce bandwith usage)
    • Timeout (default = 5 minutes, max = 24 hours): 5 minutes

Research direction

Start by reviewing the RSS-Bridge developer guidance linked in the request and the existing mail2rss.php attempt mentioned there. Define whether the bridge can provide the requested email fields, attachments, limits, full articles, caching, and request balancing; done would mean a working bridge for the specified POP or IMAP account behavior.
