Small library that listens for incoming messages on the imap server and returns the parsed message

npm install imap-notify

var 
  notify = require('imap-notify'),
  options,
  notifier;

options = {
  user: '[email protected]',
  password: 'myPassword',
  host: 'imap.host.name',
  port: 993,
  tls: true,
  box: 'Inbox'
};

notifier = notify(options);

notifier.on('error', function(err) {
  console.log(err);
});

notifier.on('mail', function(msg) {
  console.log(msg);
});

notifier.on('success', function() {
  console.log('connection made');
});

notifier.on('close', function() {
  console.log('connection closed');
});
