Testing Email via IMAP Seeds
The structure of a IMAP seed URL is
imap://host:port/path/to/folder?id=order_received
Testing the seed URL will show all the enqueued URLs. For example, testing the URL imap://mail.server.com/spam/september shows the following enqueued URLs
imap://mail.server.com/spam/september?id=1 imap://mail.server.com/spam/september?id=2 imap://mail.server.com/spam/september?id=3 imap://mail.server.com/spam/september?id=4 imap://mail.server.com/spam/september/subfolder
Testing one of these URLs shows the message returned by crawling that email and the result of converting with the mail converter. Using these URLs will allow testing of converters without having to wait for an entire block of emails to get crawled.
