Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/2069

Hello all,
I want to integrate Modoboa in a private project in which we developed a client web interface that is connected to the Modoboa server (i.e. Backend).
Via this client web interface, I want to exchange emails with attachement. However, I do not find any operations in the REST API of Modoboa (i.e. https://modoboa.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rest_api.html) enabling sending and receiving emails with attachement.
Could you please tell me how we can ensure these features using the REST API of Modoboa?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Best regards,
Rami.

@SellamiRami You can't do this using the REST API. I suggest you use IMAP/SMTP protocols instead.

Thank you @tonioo for your quick reply. Could you please give more details about this (e.g. a documentation)? Is there an API that I can use in the source code of the Client Web interface?
Thanks in advance for your help !

@SellamiRami IMAP and SMTP are old and standard protocols. You can find a lot of documentation on the Internet about them and most programming language provide ready-to-use client modules.
