I have a node red script that fetches emails and saves the attachment. But now I just need an output that tells if there is a new email or not. I don't need the complete payload from the email. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thx
Stephan

Have you looked at `node-red-node-emai`l? maybe the `email MTA` will do what you want.
