How to listen for new emails?

@mscdex

I open the inbox and then search for new emails :

imap.once("ready", () => {
  openInbox((err, mailbox) => {
    imap.search(["NEW"], (err, uids) => {
      console.log("Searched ...");
      console.log(uids);
    });
  });
});

and I keep the session/connection opened and then send a new email to my self but it won’t be recieved by imap ?!!

I never close the connection

Could you share how you solved this issue? I’m very new to imap, and I’m trying to achieve the same thing.

mail(< integer >numNewMsgs) - Emitted when new mail arrives in the currently open mailbox.

As a result, I’m receiving 1 most of the times as well. I don’t quite know how to fetch the content of this new email.

I would also like to do the same … can someone share code? I want to run a function on each new message. Thanks!
