Description

node-red-node-email 1.7.4
Node-RED v1.0.2

Hi, Node-RED team!

I have discovered that the node-red-node-email (email in) does not provide the complete status according to (https://nodered.org/blog/2019/09/20/node-done)

It would be helpful to have the complete status available.
Even if the email in node has two options on how to start (automatic and triggered), it would be helpful in both cases to know when the node has completed its action.

IMO, the information could be:

- node triggered (either automatically every x seconds or manually)
- connect()
- fetch()
	if (email exists) deliver_content()
- done()	

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the node-red-node-email email in implementation and trace its automatic and triggered flows. Compare both paths with Node-RED's complete status guidance in the linked blog post; done means the node reports completion after fetching and delivering available email content in each mode.
