[Bug]: Email message input (Pipelines) ignores IMAP folder when using Mail Server metadata #6810
Description
Apache Hop version?
2.17
Java version?
17.0.18
Operating system
Windows
What happened?
"Email messages input" in a Pipeline fails to honor "IMAP folder", it always reads the emails from the INBOX, but only when using a predefined "Mail Server Connection" from metadata.
Step to reproduce the issue
- Create a Mail Server Connection in Metadata (IMAP Server)
- Create a pipeline
- Add "Email messages input"
- In GENERAL, select the Mail Server Connection you created in the first step and make sure to select PROTOCOL = IMAP
- In SETTINGS > IMAP SETTINGS, add an IMAP folder or use the folder selector.
- Click on "Test folder" to make sure the folder exists
- Set "Retrieve" to "Get all messages"
- In FIELDS, add a field for FOLDER NAME, SENDER and BODY
- Click on "Preview"
Current behavior:
- It retrieves all messages from the INBOX folder instead of those from the given folder.
- The field FOLDER NAME shows an ID instead of the folder name.
Expected behavior:
- Should return ALL the messages from the selected IMAP Folder.
Notes
- If you manually enter the IMAP credentials instead of using a metadata connection, it works as expected.
