IMAP(S) Connector

Create connectivity and enable applications to retrieve email from an IMAP email server in both online and offline modes.

Description

The IMAP Connector, which is configurable only as an inbound endpoint (i.e., message source) with a one-way exchange pattern, implements a transport channel that enables your Mule application to retrieve email from an IMAP email server.
IMAP is similar to POP3, except IMAP supports both online and offline modes. For instance, IMAP users can leave email messages on the IMAP server until they explicitly delete them. Like POP3, IMAP cannot send email; for that, you must implement an SMTP outbound endpoint.
For a secure transport channel (either TLS or SSL), you can specify the IMAPS protocol.

Note

This connector is preinstalled in Anypoint Studio.
