Poll Emails via JMAP for Any Provider

This workflow enables polling emails from arbitrary providers via the JMAP standard, which n8n lacks native support for beyond Gmail or Outlook. It fetches the total number of unread messages and retrieves details for the first three, making it ideal for monitoring inboxes without relying on email triggers.

Key benefits include flexibility for custom email automation, such as checking unread counts before processing or searching specific messages on events. It's adaptable to fetch more emails, filter by criteria, or integrate with other n8n nodes for actions like notifications or CRM updates.

Use cases span workplace management: automate inbox audits, trigger alerts on high unread volumes, or sync emails to databases/ERPs. Built for n8n 1.20+, it uses simple HTTP requests with Bearer auth (e.g., Fastmail tokens), ensuring broad compatibility and easy setup for business operations.
