Email Connector (Labs)

Connects to an email server using the entered account. Once connected you can use various nodes to work with your email such as the Email Reader node to read email or the Email Sender node to send email.

The Email Connector node uses the Jakarta Mail API and the Angus Mail implementation to interact with compatible email servers.

Please notice that the node only supports email server that support the IMAP protocol for reading email and the SMTP protocol for sending email.
