I would like to use CURL in order to APPEND emails at the given date.
$ curl -kv -u [email protected]:user 'imap://IP:143' -X 'APPEND INBOX (Mon, 7 Feb > 1994 21:52:25 +0000) {310}' '
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 1994 21:52:25 -0800 (PST)
From: Fred Foobar <[email protected]>
Subject: afternoon meeting
To: [email protected]
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII
C:
Hello Joe, do you think we can meet at 3:30 tomorrow?'
Unfortunately, it's not working, as the email is not passed to the server
C: A003 APPEND (Mon, 7 Feb 1994 21:52:25 +0000) INBOX {310}
S: A003 BAD Missing required argument to Append
I also try by sending the email as a file:
$ curl -kv -u [email protected]:user 'imap://IP:143' -X 'APPEND INBOX (Mon, 7 Feb > 1994 21:52:25 +0000) {310}' -T email.txt
but it still not working
C: A003 APPEND email.txt (\Seen) {318}
S: A003 NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox does not exist
Any idea?
you don't have to provide the IMAP command, CURL will do that for you. However you have to specify on which folder you're working on.
curl -kv imaps://user:[email protected]/INBOX -T ~/simple.eml
