TIDE

TIDE is a REST API that a website can use to retrieve folders and emails using IMAP4.

This is a WIP project that is still very much in development. I would not advise using in production.

Why?

---

I wanted a flexible, yet fast way of providing web access to multiple IMAP servers.

What the API provides

---

• /login - Let's a user specify a username, password and IMAP server host:port
• /folders - Retrieves a list of folders from the IMAP mailbox
• /emails - Retrieves the email envelopes for emails in a folder
• /email - Retrieves the email body in plain and HTML formats

Dependencies

---

This uses:

• go-imap
• uuid

Usage

---

$ go build main.go
$ ./tide
