Before I get my hands dirty, I thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone has done anything similar.

I receive a lot of newsletters via email that I never have time to read when I'm working at my computer. However, when I have a few spare minutes and am looking for something useful to do, I generally don't have access to my email. I thought it would be useful to be able to have these email newsletters on my ereader via Calibre.

Converting the newsletters should be straight forward - they are either straight text or HTML. I was thinking of dumping the individual messages to files in a directory somewhere and having Calibre sweep them up but that isn't very cross platform compatible. The other option, which I think I'll go with, is to have Calibre access the messages through folders using imap. This way I can just move email newsletters into the appropriate mail folder and have Calibre automatically download them just like it does with RSS feeds. If I get really smart, I should be able to use the read status of the messages to detect which messages to download.

Any thoughts or suggestions to guide me on my way?
