makeshifthoop··on Show HN: Switchboard – open-source email processing in Erlang
That article is a classic, and is used by most people I've talked to implement threading if they can't rely on the IMAP server supporting the THREAD extension [1].

However, it also serves as an example of some of the complexity that clients are expected to handle to provide a modern email experience. That algorithm isn't trivial, and reimplementing it with every client is expensive in development time, and error-prone.

As mentioned in a sibling comment, the Switchboard server's roadmap includes making it thread aware, leaving Switchboard clients lean.

Currently, there are worker/client implementations in Python, Ruby, and JavaScript. New languages can be added in response to demand -- is there a language you'd be interested in using on the client-side in particular?

Also, because it uses JSON over websockets, it's fairly easy to implement a new worker/client that follows the Switchboard interface -- here's the Python implementation in 132 LOC: https://github.com/jtmoulia/switchboard-python/blob/master/s...

It should work very well for specifying the logic around the calendar example: Switchboard would accept the credentials of the accounts to monitor, e.g. calendar@mydomain.com, and then notify a "schedule notification" worker of new messages. The burden of scheduling reminders for participants would be on the worker, but there are a lot of tools for that. I like the idea!

One note: Switchboard is especially useful relative to a bare IMAP connection when you're monitoring many accounts. This is because it provides a lot of the boilerplate around restarting failed connections and issuing IMAP commands while an IMAP connection has an active IDLE continuation.

I agree that there's tons of room for more automation around emails. I think the lack of automation is due to not having high-level tools, which is where Switchboard comes in, and that emails are typically natural language. I'm personally excited to see Switchboard get used for email classification -- imagine if your business-logic could include the email "class", e.g. "sent by a human", or "marketing", ... etc. A bit like Gmail's categories, but open and accessible to developers.

I can't give an unqualified yes, but Switchboard is similar to zeromq in that it fans out events [new emails] to subscribed processes [workers].

We actually thought about using zeromq, but went with a simpler solution for now, i.e. using websockets.
