CodeLogic.Mail

NuGet License: MIT

SMTP sending and IMAP reading for CodeLogic 4 — with a built-in template engine, attachments, and RFC 2177 IDLE push notifications.

Compose messages with a fluent MailBuilder, send them over SMTP, render variable-substitution templates (conditionals, loops, and layouts), and read mailboxes over IMAP — including live IDLE push. Built on MailKit and MimeKit. Every fallible operation returns a MailResult / MailResult<T> carrying a categorised MailError instead of throwing on protocol, auth, or timeout errors.

Install

dotnet add package CodeLogic.Mail

Quick start

using CL.Mail;

await Libraries.LoadAsync<MailLibrary>();
await CodeLogic.ConfigureAsync();
await CodeLogic.StartAsync();

var mail = Libraries.Get<MailLibrary>();

// Compose with the fluent builder and send via SMTP.
var message = mail.CreateMessage()
    .From("noreply@example.com", "My App")
    .To("user@example.com")
    .Subject("Welcome!")
    .HtmlBody("<h1>Hello</h1><p>Welcome aboard.</p>")
    .TextBody("Hello — welcome aboard.")
    .Build();

MailResult result = await mail.Smtp.SendAsync(message);
if (!result.IsSuccess)
    Console.WriteLine($"Send failed ({result.Error}): {result.ErrorMessage}");

Features

  • SMTP sending — plain-text and/or HTML bodies, CC/BCC, attachments, custom headers, and message priority. A fresh connection is opened per send (no pooling).
  • Fluent MailBuilder — mail.CreateMessage() composes an immutable MailMessage; Build() throws if sender, recipients, subject, or a body are missing.
  • Template engine — JSON-backed templates with {{var}} / ${var} / {var} substitution (HTML-encoded in HTML bodies; {{{var}}} for trusted HTML), {{#if}}…{{#else}}…{{/if}} conditionals, {{#each}}…{{/each}} loops, and {{#section}} / layout composition. Values are inserted once: placeholders inside a value are never expanded.
  • Templated send — SendTemplatedAsync renders a template by id and sends it in one call.
  • IMAP reading — list folders, fetch and page messages, fetch by UID with attachments, search, move/copy/delete, and add/remove flags.
  • IMAP IDLE — RFC 2177 push notifications via StartIdleAsync and the NewMailReceived event.
  • Result-based errors — MailResult / MailResult<T> carry IsSuccess, a categorised MailError, an ErrorMessage, and a MessageId.

Configuration

Auto-generated on first run as config.mail.json. The Imap section is optional — omit it to disable IMAP entirely.

{
  "Enabled": true,
  "Smtp": {
    "Host": "smtp.example.com",
    "Port": 587,
    "Username": "noreply@example.com",
    "Password": "your-password-or-app-password",
    "SecurityMode": "StartTls",
    "TimeoutSeconds": 30
  },
  "Imap": {
    "Host": "imap.example.com",
    "Port": 993,
    "Username": "inbox@example.com",
    "Password": "your-password-or-app-password",
    "SecurityMode": "SslTls",
    "TimeoutSeconds": 30,
    "EnableIdle": false,
    "IdleRefreshMinutes": 25
  },
  "DefaultFromEmail": "noreply@example.com",
  "DefaultFromName": "My App",
  "TemplateDirectory": "templates"
}
Setting Default Description
Enabled true Master switch; when false the services aren't created and health reports disabled.
Smtp.Host / Smtp.Port smtp.example.com / 587 SMTP server and port.
Smtp.Username / Smtp.Password "" SMTP credentials (use an app password where required).
Smtp.SecurityMode StartTls None, StartTls (STARTTLS, port 587), or SslTls (implicit TLS, port 465).
Smtp.TimeoutSeconds 30 SMTP connect/operation timeout.
Imap null Optional; omit the whole section to disable IMAP.
Imap.SecurityMode SslTls None, StartTls, or SslTls (implicit TLS, port 993).
Imap.EnableIdle false Enable RFC 2177 IDLE push monitoring.
Imap.IdleRefreshMinutes 25 IDLE connection refresh interval (1–28; keep under 29).
DefaultFromEmail / DefaultFromName null Fallback sender when a message omits From.
TemplateDirectory templates Template folder; relative to the library data dir unless absolute.

Changing config while running

With CodeLogic 4.9+, config.mail.json applies live when changed through Libraries.UpdateConfigAsync, Libraries.ReloadConfigAsync, or the config file watcher. Only what changed is rebuilt:

  • SMTP settings: mail.Smtp is replaced. Every send opens its own connection, so sends already running finish on the old settings.
  • Template directory: mail.TemplateProvider and mail.TemplateEngine are replaced.
  • IMAP settings (added, changed or removed): mail.Imap is replaced and the old connection is closed. Re-read mail.Imap — don't keep the old instance — and call StartIdleAsync again if you were idling.
  • enabled: can be switched either way.

Other settings (default sender, ...) are read when used and need nothing rebuilt.

# CL.Mail — Changelog

All notable changes to **CodeLogic.Mail** are documented here. Versions follow
[Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).

## 2026-10-27

### Security

- **HTML bodies encode substituted values.** `SimpleTemplateEngine` inserted every value into
 `HtmlBody` as-is, so a user-supplied value (a user name, a browser description) could inject
 markup or links into an e-mail. In `HtmlBody` and HTML layouts, `{{var}}`, `${var}` and `{var}`
 are now HTML-encoded. Subjects and text bodies are unchanged.
- **Values are inserted once.** Substitution ran the three placeholder syntaxes one after another,
 and loop output was substituted again by the outer pass, so a value containing `${other}` or
 `{other}` was expanded: user text could pull other variables (links, tokens) into the message.
 All syntaxes are now replaced in a single pass and nothing inside a value is expanded.

### Added

- **`{{{var}}}`** inserts a value without encoding, for values that are trusted HTML.

### Fixed

- **Text layouts get the text sections.** With a layout, the text layout was rendered with the
 child's *HTML* sections (including `body`). Text and HTML layouts now each receive their own
 sections, and a child's section wins over a variable of the same name.

### Upgrade notes

- Templates that pass ready-made HTML in a variable must switch that placeholder to `{{{var}}}`.

## 2026-10-24

### Added

- **Live config changes** (requires CodeLogic 4.9+). `MailLibrary` implements `IConfigReloadable`: a
 change to `config.mail.json` made through `Libraries.UpdateConfigAsync`, `Libraries.ReloadConfigAsync`
 or the config file watcher is applied without a restart, rebuilding only what changed. Changed SMTP
 settings replace `Smtp` (sends in flight finish on the old settings); a changed template directory
 replaces `TemplateProvider`/`TemplateEngine`; changed IMAP settings replace `Imap` and close the old
 connection (re-read `Imap` and restart IDLE). `Enabled` can be switched either way.

## 2026-09-12

### Changed

- Unified the version line with the CodeLogic framework on **4.8.x**. Every official
 library and the framework now share one `major.minor`, so a given `4.8.<patch>`
 means the same generation across all packages.
- `version.txt` moved from `4.6` to `4.8`. The patch component remains the CI run
 number, composed at pack time; `AssemblyVersion` stays pinned at `Major.Minor.0.0`
 (now `4.8.0.0`) so every patch in the line loads interchangeably.

## 2026-06-20

### Documentation

- Full rewrite of the README and the multi-page docs set to the CodeLogic.Libs
 house style. The README is now concise, Markdown-only, and NuGet-safe; the
 guide is split into **Overview & Sending** (`docs/libs/mail/index.md`) and
 **Receiving & Templates** (`docs/libs/mail/receiving-templates.md`), with the
 old `docs/libs/mail.md` reduced to a redirect stub and the docs navigation
 updated accordingly. No API changes.

## [4.5.1] — 2026-06-20

### Documentation

- Rewrote the README and the Mail & Templates guide to match the current public
 API. The previous docs described members that no longer exist (`EmailMessage`,
 `EmailAttachment`, `ReplyTo`, `RenderTemplateAsync`, `ReadInboxAsync`,
 `ImapFilter`, `MarkAsReadAsync`, the `SendAsync(from:, to:, …)` /
 `SendTemplateAsync` overloads, and the `UseSsl` / `FromAddress` config keys).
- Documented the real surface: the fluent `MailBuilder` (`CreateMessage()`),
 `SmtpService.SendAsync(MailMessage)`, `MailLibrary.SendTemplatedAsync`, the
 `MailResult` / `MailError` result model, and the JSON-backed template system
 (`MailTemplate`, `IMailTemplateProvider`, `IMailTemplateEngine`).
- Documented previously undocumented features: template conditionals
 (`{{#if}}`/`{{#else}}`), loops (`{{#each}}`), sections and layouts; the
 `${var}` / `{var}` placeholder syntaxes; the full IMAP API (fetch/page, fetch
 by UID, search via `ImapSearchCriteria`, move/copy/delete, flag operations,
 folder management); and RFC 2177 IMAP IDLE push (`StartIdleAsync` /
 `NewMailReceived`) with its `EnableIdle` / `IdleRefreshMinutes` config keys.
- Corrected the documented config schema and `SecurityMode` values
 (`None` / `StartTls` / `SslTls`).

## [4.5.0] — 2026-05-24

### Changed

- **Unified versioning.** All CodeLogic.Libs now share a single version line
 controlled by `version.txt` in the repo root. This is a version alignment
 release — no functional changes to this library.
## [4.0.4] — 2026-04-16

### Changed

- README + manifest refresh for the v4 baseline. No functional changes vs 4.0.3.
- `LibraryManifest.Version` now reads from assembly metadata.

## [4.0.2] — 2026-04-09

### Changed

- Annotated mail configuration with `[ConfigField]` for the admin UI surface.
- Aligned with the v4 baseline across all libraries.

### Fixed

- Resolved null-reference warnings in `ImapService`.

## [4.0.0] — 2026-04-09

Major rewrite. Republished as v4.0.0 to reset the version line under the
unified v4 baseline. SMTP / IMAP services + a CodeLogic-native template
provider.

### Notes

- Earlier history is retained in the
 [git log](https://github.com/zyntal-com/CodeLogic.Libs/commits/main/CL.Mail).
