imap2atom

imap2atom provides a means to serialize an IMAP inbox as an Atom document. The resultant Atom feed can then be published and subscribed to or plugged into a query system such as YQL. For mailing lists, basically.

Getting Started

Install the builder dependency:

$ sudo gem install builder

Use

List available mailboxes:

$ ./imap2atom.rb --list imap://user:password@mail.example.com/

Dumping an INBOX (defaulting to 20 items), using "Me" as the feed title:

$ ./imap2atom.rb --title Me imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX

Dumping the last 5 items in my inbox:

$ ./imap2atom.rb -n 5 imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX

Dumping a Google Apps account:

$ ./imap2atom.rb --gmail imap://user:password@example.org/INBOX

This is the equivalent of:

$ ./imap2atom.rb -p 993 --ssl imap://user%40example.org:password@imap.gmail.com/INBOX
