Collect emails from email server

Recent days I see a lot of questions about emails. It is a great opportunity to send reports directly from KNIME.

But what about reading emails?

Is there a way to collect emails and use email as a trigger for the workflow to start processing the body of the message?

Surprisingly, I haven’t found similar questions on the hub and my first attempt failed (I tried to connect to POP3 server with HTTP(S) connector but with no success).

I think I’m not the only one who could use this approach if it is feasible, for sure.
