Hi fellow self-hosting lemmings,

In an SME setting, I'm looking for a service to regularly fetch mails from an IMAP server and print incoming mails and attachments on a local network printer based on rules (e.g., only print mails where the subject contains a specific word.)

Does a solution like that exist, ideally with a browser frontend to set it up?

Thank you!

You might want to check out Mozilla Thunderbird or even MS outlook for this. I don't believe roundcube (web client) has this ability.

Thanks for the idea. It's not quite what I was looking for, but I might look into it more if I don't find anything better.

From the looks of it, it requires python scripting anyway, so there isn't a big advantage to fetching the mail with python and imaplib directly.
