Reports the sender and subject of mail that arrived since the last poll.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Polls each account's inbox over IMAP, read-only, and reports new messages by sender and subject. Each account is named by two environment variables: the address and a Gmail app password. An account whose variables are not set is skipped.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add bdambrosio/cognitive_workbench/mail-watcher@sha256:4421761b91c44561The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.ae32eca, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
