Simple, low dependency *nix CLI IMAP client script.

SECSI Email Command-line Script I

SECSI is a script that allows one-liners for secure IMAP access to secure IMAP providers, e.g. GMail. The only dependencies are bash and openssl, both of which are included in OS X and many *nix distros.

Outputs what the IMAP server returns, so it isn't pretty.

Config

Set the following env vars:

• IMAP_SERVER=imap.example.com:993
• IMAP_USER=[e-mail]

Optionally, you can set these:

• IMAP_S_CLIENT_OPTS="-crlf -starttls smtp" (default is -crlf)

Usage

Example usage:

  export IMAP_SERVER=imap.example.com:993
  export IMAP_USER=[e-mail]
  ./secsi LIST '"" "%"'
  IMAP_MAILBOX=INBOX ./secsi FETCH 3456 FULL
  IMAP_MAILBOX=INBOX ./secsi FETCH 3456:3466 "(BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (DATE FROM SUBJECT)])"
  IMAP_MAILBOX=INBOX ./secsi SEARCH SENTON 1-jun-2012
