{"library":"imap-simple","type":"library","category":null,"description":"imap-simple (version 5.1.0) is a JavaScript library designed to provide a simplified, promise-based API over `node-imap`, a robust IMAP client for Node.js. It aims to streamline common email interaction tasks like fetching message headers, body content, and attachments, by abstracting away some complexities of the underlying `node-imap` library. However, the library is explicitly stated as unmaintained and archived, meaning it receives no further updates or support, and is missing significant functionality present in `node-imap`. Its development pace was inconsistent, and current usage is strongly discouraged due to its abandonment and lack of updates for security or compatibility. While it offered a promise-based API and simplified call structure, these benefits are now significantly outweighed by its unmaintained status and potential compatibility issues with modern Node.js environments.","language":"javascript","status":"abandoned","version":"5.1.0","tags":["javascript","imap","node-imap"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install imap-simple","imports":["import imaps from 'imap-simple';","const imaps = require('imap-simple');","import imaps from 'imap-simple';\n// After connecting: const connection = await imaps.connect(config);"]},{"cmd":"yarn add imap-simple","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add imap-simple","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/chadxz/imap-simple","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/imap-simple","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/imap-simple/compatibility"}}
