Import existing emails #29

Open bpcurse opened 4 years ago

Another functional addition would be a !login option to "import" older emails. This could be expanded by another option defining how far the bot should go back (e.g. the last 25 mails or the last month).

JojiiOfficial commented 4 years ago

So you mean a command like !import 90 to import 90 last messages or !import all to import all emails

bpcurse commented 4 years ago

Yes, that would be great. And maybe even !import 30d for 30 days.

@bpcurse Does the bridge really need an import command? Isn't it enough if you get asked after logging in into the IMAP account, if you want to import some/all emails from this account?

bpcurse commented 4 years ago

Agreed, from my POV/use case it is sufficient to offer this on login only. A separate command shouldn't be needed. An important option however would be some kind of limiting, as you probably meant with "some/all". Thank you for considering this feature!
