+
+The `imap email content` sensor platform will read emails from an imap email server and report them as a state change within Home Assistant.
+This is useful if you have a device that only reports its state via email.
+
+To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: imap_email_content
+    server: imap.gmail.com
+    port: 993
+    name: Emails
+    username: USERNAME
+    password: PASSWORD
+    senders:
+      - example@gmail.com
+    value_template: TEMPLATE
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **server** (*Required*): The IP address or hostname of the IMAP server.
+- **port** (*Required*): The port where the server is accessible.
+- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the IMAP sensor.
+- **username** (*Required*): Username for the IMAP server.
+- **password** (*Required*): Password for the IMAP server.
+- **senders** (*Required*): A list of sender email addresses that are allowed to report state via email. Only emails recieved from these addresses will be processed.
