Listen for New Emails in an IMAP Mailbox
Listen for new emails in a given IMAP mailbox. Converts the binary XML attachment to a stringified `xml` property on the `$data` object and converts it to JSON. The `Set` node could be replaced with `Function` nodes, for example, to do a conversion/mapping/transformation.  The JSON is ultimately sent to an HTTP Endpoint via POST. > This could be a starter for EDI purposes like receiving or transmitting XML data and conversion via JSON object property mapping.
