This project fetches emails from a specified mailbox and generates an RSS feed for each sender.
- Connects to a Email account using IMAP
- Fetches emails from the last 10 days (configurable)
- Groups emails by sender
- Generates an RSS feed for each sender
- Saves each RSS feed to a file
- Handles errors and logs them
You can configure your email account to connect to and the number of days to fetch emails from by saving lines in .env:
imap_server=imap.gmail.com_or_some_other_imap_server
userid=[email protected]
userpw=your_password_here
mailbox=your_mailbox_name_to_fetch_emails_from
PORT=8000If you want to use your own domain and have a SSL certificate, you can use lets encrypt to get a free SSL certificate.
- Install certbot on your server. The command to do this depends on your Linux distribution. For Ubuntu, you can use:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx- Run certbot to obtain the certificates. Replace your-domain.com with your actual domain:
sudo certbot --nginx -d your-domain.com- now add certfile and keyfile to the .env file
Final .env file should look like this:
imap_server=imap.gmail.com_or_some_other_imap_server
userid=[email protected]
userpw=your_password_here
mailbox=your_mailbox_name_to_fetch_emails_from
PORT=8000
certfile="/etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/fullchain.pem"
keyfile="/etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/privkey.pem"- Clone this repository.
