# DRE Mail IMAP Poller

A lightweight, no-dependency IMAP poller that checks DRE mailboxes and serves as a unified inbox JSON endpoint for the DRE portal.

## Script Location
`/root/.hermes/scripts/dre-mail-poller.py`

## How It Works

- Polls both `dre@debtrecoveryexperts.com` and `collections@debtrecoveryexperts.com` on `heracles.mxrouting.net:993`
- Fetches UNSEEN messages only (leaves them unread in the mailbox)
- Parses: from, to, subject, date, body (500-char preview + full body), claim_match (DRE-\d{4}-\d{4} pattern)
- Deduplicates by `mailbox:uid` composite key
- Maintains rolling 500-entry JSON database
- Writes to `/var/www/internal/data/dre-mails.json`

## Output Format

```json
[
  {
    "uid": 12345,
    "mailbox": "dre",
    "from": "client@example.com",
    "to": "dre@debtrecoveryexperts.com",
    "subject": "Question about my claim DRE-2026-0142",
    "date": "2026-07-08 14:30:00",
    "body_preview": "Hi, I had a question about the status of...",
    "body": "Full body text...",
    "is_read": false,
    "claim_match": "DRE-2026-0142"
  }
]
```

## Cron
Runs every 60 seconds via Hermes cron job `dre-mail-poller` (no_agent mode — zero token cost). The script is self-contained Python stdlib — no pip dependencies.

## Access
Served at `internal.debtrecoveryexperts.com/data/dre-mails.json` (already covered by existing Caddy config — no changes needed).

## Portal Integration
A future inbox UI page can fetch from this endpoint and render in the portal. No build step needed — pure JS fetch from the static JSON endpoint.

## Mailbox Credentials
- IMAP: heracles.mxrouting.net:993
- dre@debtrecoveryexperts.com / collections@debtrecoveryexperts.com
- Same password for both
