How to: Read/extract body text from email to Excel?

Hi everyone,

First of all I would like to say that I am quite the beginner with KNIME, I used it during my Business Analytics course in my degree (which I am graduating soon!). I would appreciate some guidance, ideas and suggestions on a current project that I am planning to do.

I am planning to create a KNIME workflow that will:

1. Read/extract email body texts.

2. Input text/data into specific columns in Excel.

I understand that currently there is no live feature that could track and read emails online. However, I found a post talking about Tika Parser, and all I need to do is find a way to use a node that reads .eml files once a new file is created in a folder. I tried to find this ‘node’ but I can’t seem to find one that fits this behavior.

Does anyone here have a better idea or recommendations on what I should do?
