New eml (email) to Trilium widget

[ecodiv]

EML2Trilum, a Trilium Notes launch-bar widget that imports .eml files (saved email messages) into your notes. Each email becomes a searchable note under the note you are viewing, with its attachments and the original message preserved, and re-importing the same email is recognised as a duplicate rather than stored twice.

The way emails are imported is compatible with those imported using the Thunderbird2Trilium addon. That means that if you have imported an email using the Thunderbird addon, and then try to import the same with this widget, it will be detected as a duplicate. This can be helpful if you cannot run Thunderbird on all your computers, as most email programs allow you to export an email in EML format.

If you are using the Weekly planner widget; Both the eml2trilium widget and the Thunderbird2Trilium add-on will add labels to imported email notes to identify them as email (#email). The planner widget will pick up the #email label. This means imported emails will appear in the backlog column of the planner dashboard automatically.

I really liked it.

It perfectly complements something I've started using here but haven't published yet: a script that fetches my calendar appointments via WebDAV (Radicale) and updates them directly in the Weekly Planner as well.

Right now, the Hermes agent is responsible for running this script, which is why it's still unpublished.

Since EML2Trilium already integrates so seamlessly with the Weekly Planner (by automatically adding the #email label so imported messages show up in the backlog column), my goal is to get rid of Hermes entirely and have Trilium handle everything natively by itself, unifying both email imports and calendar events into a single, cohesive workflow.

@ricolandia, Good to hear. And because I also like to be able to import calendar events / invitations, not all, but for those meetings I want to keep notes, I created an accompanying script ics2trilium #11061. It allows you to import an ics file. I am using Thunderbird, which does not have the option as far as I can see, to export single event ICS files. But you can simply copy an event, and paste it in Trilium with the same script.

Nice @ecodiv I'll try it. Thank you.
