@ilpizze that's a really interesting use case. I see there are clients like https://github.com/mjs/imapclient which can help make implemenation easier. What do you imagine the interface to this connector would look like? what inputs would a user supply, and what should the output look like?

Also, do you have a particular use case in mind that would benefit from a connector like this? Can you help us understand how a business or individual might derive value from this connector?

The input should me an email folder. The output should be a database table.

In my company we do a lot of nlp, nlu and machine learning in general on mails and documents for our clients. Actually for ETL/ELT we are using a mix of Pentaho PDI, Python code and Java Quartz Jobs denending on out clients. It would be really nice to have a unified (and modern) tool for all the ETL/ELT.
