This event driven source connects to the specified POP or IMAP mailbox(es) at specific intervals to retrieve email messages.

The headers in the message are parsed into event headers and the body of the email is used to construct the body of the event.

This could be useful for streaming in events from mailing list subscriptions or similar data sources.
