Motion is an open project from Netmail which presents a new, modern means of interacting with messages.

The goal of Motion is to describe a mechanism by which any source of messages, (ie an MTA, Archive system, chat server, email client, etc) can learn more about a message and can act on a message based on what was learned. This is achieved by use of motion services.

Goals:

• Built-in and external services
  • Discovery services: Provide detail and additional information about a message
  • Action services: Perform an action on a message

• Reference MTA and mailbox scanner implementation in NodeJS: condition services, forward to SMTP or write to mailbox.

This wiki currently serves as a testing grounds for ideas, plans, examples and possibilities. As tools develop and details gel, it will serve as additional documentation and conceptual background for the project.

If you would like to become involved or have any questions, feel free and encouraged to contact owen.swerkstrom@netmail.com or micah.gorrell@netmail.com about Motion or any of Netmail's open works.
