Good evening,

Are there plans to integrate an IMAP reader into Gladys?  
Indeed, I’m looking to be able to read emails via IMAP like the plugin made for Jeedom offers:

> **[Mail Listener, surveiller une boîte mail et utiliser les propriétés des mails...](https://lunarok.github.io/jeedom_docs/plugins/maillistener/)**

This would allow me to check the status of the backups I receive by email and display them in a table.  
By the way, is it possible in Gladys to create a table and display it on the dashboard with values OK, NOK, No email received?

Thanks

Hi @prohand!

An email box can be read with the external integration **IMAP Mail** (guim31, v1.0.1), in the catalog.

A new message can trigger a scene: this is the use case « a backup email has arrived, I update an indicator ». You also have counters, and a dashboard widget.

In the integration configuration: IMAP server, folder, account. Then the devices appear like the others.

I categorize this topic under « Delivered Requests ». If there is still a case that doesn’t fit, open a new topic: it will be easier to follow.
