Today I wrote some examples of sending and receiving emails with Node.js.

This uses the following libraries:

• emailjs for sending email
• node-imap for receiving email
• mailparser for parsing received emails

Running the examples:

Copy config.json.example to config.json and enter your email account details.

Run coffee send.coffee to send yourself an email with an attachment.

Run coffee read.coffee to receive the sent email and write the attachment back to disk with a new name.
