### Troubleshooting
Email providers may limit the number of reported emails. The number may be less than the limit (10,000 at least for Yahoo) even if you set the `IMAP search` to reduce the number of results. If you are not getting expected events and cleaning your Inbox or the configured folder is not desired, set up an email filter for the specific sender to go into a new folder. Then create a new config entry or modify the existing one with the desired folder.
### Using events
When a new message arrives that meets the search criteria the `imap` integration will send a custom [event](/docs/automation/trigger/#event-trigger) that can be used to trigger an automation.
