go-rss2imap

A tweak of @htr's rss2imap to match my rss2imap feature set.

Things that need fixing:

• Decent templating
• RSS items are always sent with the same From: address
• RSS items are inserted with the current date rather than the item's date
• Concurrency could be improved

Quickstart

Checkout the repository (all dependencies are included) and issue the make command to build.

The bundled Makefile also provides pi and synology targets for the Raspberry Pi and old Synology ARM5 NAS.

Configuration

For the moment, you should use the provided template (configuration will be refactored to live in ~/.config soon):

cp rss2imap.json.sample ~/.rss2imap.json

edit the configuration file:

{
    "cleanup": true,                // cleanup messages already seen and not flagged
    "folders": {                    // dictionary of folder names mapped to lists of feed urls
        "folder": [
            "feedurl1",
            "feedurl2"
        ],
        "folder2": [
            "feedurl3"
        ]
    },
    "imapserver": "imap.server.tld",  // imap server with tls support
    "folderprefix": "feeds/",         // a folder prefix. an empty string is accepted
    "to": "<[email protected]>",       // "To" header.
    "labels": [],                     // additional labels/folders to where each new message should be appended
    "template": "<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td><a href=\"{{ .Link }}\">{{ .Title }}</a></td></tr>\n<hr />\n<tr><td>{{ .Author }}</td></tr>\n<tr><td>{{ .Content }}</td></tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>",     // the message body template
    "password": "password",           // imap username
    "username": "username"            // imap password
}

pull all feeds:

rss2imap -pull

just do a cleanup:

rss2imap -cleanup

test how a feed is processed:

rss2imap -test-feed=feedurl

Details

imap and gmail

When connected to a gmail imap server, rss2imap uses the X-GM-EXT-1 features:

• when duplicating messages to other labels/mailboxes: store X-GM-LABELS vs COPY
• when deleting messages (cleanup): store X-GM-LABELS \Trash vs store \Deleted
