Hi, i'd like to announce a IMAP and POP river for Elasticsearch. It can be found here: > **[salyh/elasticsearch-imap](https://github.com/salyh/elasticsearch-imap)** > > elasticsearch-imap - IMAP and POP3 email importer for Elasticsearch (no river anymore) This river connects to IMAP4 or POP3 servers polls your mail and index it. The emails on the server will be never modified or removed from the server. The river tracks (after the first initial full load) which mails are new or deleted and then only update the index for this mails. Features: - ``` Incremental indexing of e-mails from a IMAP or POP3 server ``` - ``` Support indexing of attachments (in conjunction with ``` [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/)) - ``` Support for UTF-7 encoded e-mails (through jutf7) ``` - ``` SSL, STARTTLS and SASL are supported (through JavaMail API) ``` - ``` IMAP only: Folders which should be indexed can be specified with a ``` regex pattern - ``` IMAP only: Subfolders can also be indexed (whole traversal of all ``` folders) - ``` No special server capabilities needed ``` - ``` Bulk indexing ``` The river acts currently as a disconnected client. This means that the river is polling and for every indexing run a new server connections are opened and, after work is done, closed. At a later time is planned to use additionally the IMAP IDLE feature (if server supports it). Suggestions, corrections, improvements are very welcome!

Hi! Thanks for this. I want to use Zarafa with Elasticsearch on ClearOS, in the context of Tiki Suite. Tiki Suite is a selection of Free / Libre / Open Source Software (FLOSS) server, web, mobile and desktop apps with a concerted focus on greater interoperability, security and adaptability, which is aimed at small & medium-sized organizations. The Tiki Suite is especially suited to decentralized and knowledge-centric organizations and offers most (80%+) of the features all organizations need, such as: Email, Website & Blog, Shopping Cart, Intranet & Project Management, E-learning, Social Networking, Knowledge base, File sharing, Issue Tracker, Video-conferencing, LDAP, VPN, Gateway, Network, etc. The main server apps are: ClearOS (server), Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, Zarafa (Mail), Prosody (XMPP) and Syncthing (file sync). Tiki is the [FLOSS Web Application with the most built-in features](http://tiki.org/FLOSS+Web+Application+with+the+most+built-in+features) and the content is searchable via Elasticsearch. It's all filtered by permission, and permits goodies like More Like This, Facets, Percolator (Stored searches), and more is on the way: [Elasticsearch | Documentation for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware](http://doc.tiki.org/Elasticsearch) This is all nice and well. However I would like to add emails, XMPP logs, and the files from the shared/sync folders. So looking at any item (e-mails, wiki pages, files, tasks, bugs, forum posts, blog posts, XMPP chat logs, etc.) can show me related entries. "Introduced with Tiki14, the federated search allows to integrate results from other sources into the main search results." > **[Federated Search | Documentation for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware](https://doc.tiki.org/Federated+Search)** > > Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware Official Documentation So I'd like to include emails (and contacts and events) in these search results, with proper permissions. So [GitHub - salyh/elasticsearch-imap: IMAP and POP3 email importer for Elasticsearch (no river anymore)](https://github.com/salyh/elasticsearch-river-imap) is of great interest to me. I also know of: [http://manifoldcf.apache.org/release/trunk/en\_US/end-user-documentation.html#emailrepository](http://manifoldcf.apache.org/release/trunk/en_US/end-user-documentation.html#emailrepository) Thoughts? Advice? Thanks!
