Listen on new emails on a IMAP mailbox

Listen on new emails on a given IMAP mailbox. Converts the binary XML attachment to a stringified xmlproperty on the $data object and converts it to JSON. The Setnode could be replaced with Function nodes for example to do a conversion/mapping/transformation. The JSON is ultimately sent to a HTTP Endpoint via POST. This could be a starter for EDI purposes like receiving or transmitting XML data and conversion via JSON object property mapping.
