jenswbe/imap-alerter repository overview

⁠IMAP-Alerter

Monitors mailboxes over IMAP and sends an email alert over SMTP. Checks the mailbox for unread messages. In case there are any and no alert was sent for them, a new alert is sent. An unique ID for each message is saved in data/alerted.pickle. This way the app only notifies you once.
