* Adding example for doing a search Not intuitive and it took me a while but I worked it out so I'm documenting here. * Minimize the conf sample and move search to full sample

The `imap` sensor platform is observing your [IMAP server](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol) and reporting the amount of unread emails.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: imap
|
|
server: YOUR_IMAP_SERVER
|
|
username: YOUR_USERNAME
|
|
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

### {% linkable_title Configuring IMAP Searches %}
|
|
|
|
By default, this component will count unread emails. By configuring the search string, you can count other results, for example:
|
|
|
|
* `ALL` to count all emails in a folder
|
|
* `FROM`, `TO`, `SUBJECT` to find emails in a folder (see [IMAP RFC for all standard options](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-6.4.4))
|
|
* [Gmail's IMAP extensions](https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/imap-extensions) allow raw Gmail searches, like `X-GM-RAW "in: inbox older_than:7d"` to show emails older than one week in your inbox. Note that raw Gmail searches will ignore your folder configuration and search all emails in your account!

|
#### {% linkable_title Full configuration sample with search %}

|
|
