Add email as a data source

[NathanCrotty]

People should be able to connect their put their email into Gerev and any incoming emails will be added to their data.

Slack         :  10 million users
Notion        :  10 million users
Confluence    :  25 million users
Email         : 4.4 BILLION users

Ideally, this should be able to access emails sent before joining Gerev too. I think this could be done through the user's google account. That might trigger security concerns in some people, but, if the end product is good enough people will use it despite security concerns. We can just have a subheading that says.

your data is safe

(Also we should actually have good enough security do avoid a data leak)

@yuvalsteuer does this fall in line with your vision?

[yuvalsteuer]

Go for it!

About supposed security implications, Gerev is thankfully self-hosted! if your assumptions are that your PC/server are safe, then data is safe as-well!

If your PC isn't safe, your Gmail isn't safe anyways right?

I think Gmail is a fine starting point, would you wan't to work on this?

I don't think choosing a specific platform is the smartest route, maybe go for a generic IMAP implementation and let the user choose which email provider to use.
@NathanCrotty If you don't want to work on this I would gladly take it.

What's easier to setup?
