Thoughts on adding email?

[UlisseMini]

A way to sync email locally and search it nicely would be nice, since there are many things you get emails for that would be hard to get notifications for otherwise, purchases for instance.

In general I feel it would be really easy to hack stuff together if you have a nice API to work with your emails

IMAP is probably the best option here: it’s cross-platform, and can (but does not by default) affect the existing emails.

[UlisseMini]

Yeah, I was looking for a higher level IMAP API and thought syncing might help with that, all the email packages I could find are for sending not viewing :/, and the default IMAP api is horrible.

Maybe I'll write an abstraction around IMAP to make it easier

[UlisseMini]

nvm just found imap-tools which seems to do what I wanted (had to search for imap specifically, not email :p)

Do have a wrapper around parsing an IMAP dump in my modules; related issue about troubleshooting in case you run into similar issues.
