930 This gateway links the email network and XMPP in both directions. It allows sending and
931 receiving emails using XMPP clients.
932
933 The gateway uses an existing email account configured using IMAP4 and SMTP. IMAP4 is used
934 for reception and the server must support IMAP4 rev1 protocol with the "IDLE" extension
935 for real-time notifications. SMTP is used for sending emails.
936
937 To use the gateway, one must register through `XEP-0100 (Gateway Interaction)`_. Once
938 registered, connection to the IMAP server is started immediately, and new emails in the
939 ``INBOX`` mailbox are received as XMPP messages.
940
941 For the moment, mailboxes are used in read-only mode, meaning that the read status and
942 other attributes are not changed, and messages will appear normally in other MUA (email
943 clients).
944
945 To send a message, just write to the corresponding JID. Email addresses are mapped to JIDs
946 using `XEP-0106 (JID Escaping)`_: the email is escaped and used as the user-part of the
947 gateway JID.
