Postal is a swift framework providing simple access to common email providers.
let postal = Postal(configuration: .icloud(login: "[email protected]", password: "mypassword"))
postal.connect { result in
switch result {
case .success:
print("success")
case .failure(let error):
print("error: \(error)")
}
}
let filter = .subject(value: "Foobar") && .from(value: "[email protected]")
postal.search("INBOX", filter: filter) { result in
switch result {
case .success(let indexes):
print("success: \(indexes)")
case .failure(let error):
print("error: \(error)")
}
}
let indexset = NSIndexSet(index: 42)
postal.fetchMessages("INBOX", uids: indexset, flags: [ .headers ], onMessage: { email in
print("new email received: \(email)")
}, onComplete: error in
if error = error {
print("an error occured: \(error)")
}
}
Postal does not address the same goal as MailCore. You can take a look at our thoughts in the TechnicalNotes document.
Email protocol is standardized. However providers implementations often provides extension or variations of these standards. We tried to build a document to synthesize working around these variations here: ProviderQuirks.
Postal has been a great effort and we could really use your help on many areas:
- Finding and reporting bugs.
- New feature suggestions.
- Answering questions on issues.
- Documentation improvements.
- Reviewing pull requests.
- Fixing bugs/new features.
- Improving tests.
- Contribute to elaborate the Roadmap.
If any of that sounds cool to you, please send a pull request!
