Been using node-imap lately and trying to implement sending emails. Here is the code on feathers/node:
create(data, params) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
// create reusable transporter object using the default SMTP transport
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: this.host,
port: this.smtpPort,
secure: false, // true for 465, false for other ports,
tls: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
},
auth: {
user: this.emailUsername, // generated ethereal user
pass: this.emailPassword // generated ethereal password
}
});
// setup email data with unicode symbols
let mailOptions = {
from: this.emailUsername, // sender address
to: data.to, // list of receivers
subject: data.subject, // Subject line
text: data.body, // plain text body
html: data.body // html body
};
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
reject(error);
//console.log(error);
}
//console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
return resolve(info);
});
});
}
this code is running fine and sending email as it should, but after it does its job i cant find those emails in 'Sent' box... anyone experienced with node-imap, what am i missin? Cheers.
EDIT:: Just realised It does save it for some email providers (Gmail, Hotmail) but for some others it doesnt. So I guess i'm not missing anything... but how could I save it manually for other providers who doesnt do it automatically.
Well seems problem was the email provider cause this code works just fine for Gmail or Hotmail... so what i did is manually append email to 'Sent' box after its already sent for that certain email provider... heres the code if any1 needs:
// send mail with defined transport object
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, (error, info) => {
if (error) {
reject(error);
//console.log(error);
}
if (checkEmail(userEmail) == 'linksoft') {
imap.once('ready', function () {
imap.openBox('inbox.Sent', false, (err, box) => {
if (err) throw err;
let msg, htmlEntity, plainEntity;
msg = mimemessage.factory({
contentType: 'multipart/alternate',
body: []
});
htmlEntity = mimemessage.factory({
contentType: 'text/html;charset=utf-8',
body: mailOptions.html
});
plainEntity = mimemessage.factory({
body: mailOptions.text
});
msg.header('Message-ID', '<1234qwerty>');
msg.header('From', mailOptions.from);
msg.header('To', mailOptions.to);
msg.header('Subject', mailOptions.subject);
msg.header('Date', new Date()));
//msg.body.push(htmlEntity);
msg.body.push(plainEntity);
imap.append(msg.toString());
})
});
imap.once('error', function (err) {
reject(err);
});
imap.once('end', function () {
resolve(response);
});
imap.connect();
}
//console.log('Message sent: %s', info.messageId);
return resolve(info);
});
Dependency: mimemessage module which is used for generating mime message before storing it into 'Sent' box cause mime message type is required for imap.append()
