Collect emails from email server

Hi @DmitryIvanov76 -

This is an interesting question! As far as I know, there isn’t a way to do this directly using a single node in KNIME. I know the Tika Parser can read .eml files - a specialized format, to be sure - but there’s not a way to monitor an email inbox in real time.

As a workaround, maybe you could set up your email software to save the email text in a particular directory, perhaps using a forwarding rule or similar. Then you could use a component like the one below to watch for new emails, and afterward start processing:

At any rate, we have a ticket for this feature request in our system (AP-9187), and I have added a +1 on that from you.
