maildeck 0.1.5

Import emails into Nextcloud Deck

maildeck

maildeck is a Python command-line tool designed to import emails into Nextcloud Deck. It fetches emails from an IMAP server and creates corresponding cards within a Nextcloud Deck board.

The idea is that you would run this script in a cron job or a systemd-timer.

Features

• IMAP: No need to run a postfix server specifically for this use case, an IMAP mailbox is enough.
• Attachments: Any mail attachments will be attached to the ticket.
• Automatic deletion of emails: Emails are automatically deleted after they are converted to a ticket.

Requirements

• Python 3.11 or higher
• A dedicated IMAP mailbox
• A Nextcloud instance with Deck 1.3.0 or higher installed

Installation

pip install maildeck
