Hey, this is not an issue. just want to know what's the key diffrence between your node and the one in N8N core list.

N8N core node is a trigger. It doesn't provide methods to manipulate emails without receiving one.

The core IMAP node is a wrapper of a very old and outdated version of node-imap, some standard IMAPv4 commands are not supported yet such as the very important ID extension, it causes a big problem where some mail providers require ID declared to be able to connected via IMAP, otherwise it will be refuse to login, it's similar to "user-agent" but for mailing protocol.

I'm looking for an alternative mail trigger to the core one.
