Access incoming emails with openhab

Add-ons Other

Hi,

I want to parse incoming emails and set some items based on the content of the mail.

From my research in the past this was possible with IFTTT. Does anyone can recommend an alternative solution to read emails?

Thanks in advance

Mail binding?

My understanding of the mail binding is, that it can only send emails and you can get a count of unread / total emails, but you don’t have access to your mailbox itself

You are correct.

Using the smarthome/j mail binding version, which gives acres to the content:

cool, thx for the hint. “content” is not described in the openhab documentation, therefore I didn’t find this feature:

Yes, the other binding is an alternative version with more features

I am running OH 3.4.2 but I can only see the mail count option.
How do I get the version that has the extra options?
