Create one ini section per mailbox:
[example box]
host=imap.gmail.com
port=993
username=my.email.address@gmail.com

ssl=True
execute=/opt/test.shThe test.sh script will be run for every incoming message with the following environment variables set:
| name | description |
|---|---|
| FROM | The source address |
| TO | The destination address |
| DATE | The date inside the envelope |
| SUBJECT | The e-mail subject line |
| CONNECTION | The ini section name of the mailbox that received the message |
The whole e-mail message in RFC822 format will be send to the standard input of the executable and as filename as first argument.
