Email Read (IMAP)
Reads messages from your own mailbox over IMAP — one row per message, or one per attachment saved as a file — filtered by folder, sender, subject, date and unread.
When to use it
Use it for flows that start from files suppliers email in, such as a daily CSV attachment, or to log incoming requests.

Worth knowing
- It opens the incoming (IMAP) server set in Account ▸ Email.
- The newest matching messages are read first, up to Messages to read; a preview reads 10.
- Tick Mark them as read after a run, with Unread messages only, so each message is handled once. Previews never mark anything.
- Attachments are saved to this run's working folder; a Loop with File Input reads each one.
