email-sync

Receive-only IMAPS mailbox polling job. It fetches mail into the provider-local email app and publishes each new message to the universal inbox.

Usage:

job start email-sync [interval-sec] [once]
job stop email-sync
job status email-sync

The default interval is 300 seconds; accepted values are 30 through 86400 seconds. once stops the job after one attempt. The account must be configured first:

wifi on
email configure imaps://imap.example.com user@example.com app-password INBOX
job start email-sync 300

To start polling after each reboot, add the following after wifi on in /.shell/startup:

job start email-sync 300

Notes:

• TLS certificate validation is mandatory; plaintext IMAP is not accepted.
• The first synchronization imports up to the newest eight messages. Later

polls process new UIDs in batches of eight, so a busy mailbox catches up over successive intervals without overflowing the response buffer.

• The provider-local list keeps 32 messages in volatile memory. Universal inbox

notifications use the mailbox as topic, the From header as sender, and the subject as title.

• Body previews are best effort. Full MIME decoding, attachments, SMTP sending,

and server-side read-state synchronization remain future work.
