    "to": "<email@server.tld>",       // "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

Details

imap and gmail

When connected to a gmail imap server, imapfeeder 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
