+# Booking Mail Import
+
+Everyone on the instance gets a forwarding address of their own. A booking confirmation forwarded there is read by
+TREK and added to the matching trip, with its times, places, booking reference and cost, and the mail attached as its
+document. A booking TREK is not sure about waits in **Open bookings** with the reason, where it can be added to a trip
+by hand, filed as a document or discarded. A booking added on its own can be undone with one tap for seven days.
+
+The import is **off by default**.
+
+## How mail reaches TREK
+
+An admin sets it up in **Admin → Integrations → Booking mail import**. Every field there can also be set by an
+[environment variable](Environment-Variables#booking-mail-import), which then wins.
+
+| Field | What it is |
+|---|---|
+| Import on | The switch for the whole instance. Off, no address takes mail and the entry points disappear. |
+| Transport | `IMAP`, `Webhook`, or none (only the `.eml` upload in the inbox works). |
+| Address template | The forwarding address with `{token}` where each person's token goes, for example `trek+{token}@example.com`. |
+| AI mails per person and day | How many forwarded mails a day an AI reads for one person (default 10). Above it, only machine-readable data is read. |
+
+Each person's token is 24 random characters. A person can renew their address at any time; the old one stops taking
+mail at once. Treat the address like a password: whoever knows it can put bookings into that person's trips.
+
+### IMAP
+
+TREK reads one mailbox every two minutes. Point a catch-all, or a mailbox with sub-addressing (`trek+anything@`), at
+it and use the matching address template. Read mails move to the folder `TREK/processed` and are never deleted, so
+anyone with access to the mailbox can read them.
+
+| Field | Default |
+|---|---|
+| Host | |
+| Port | `993` |
+| Encryption | `tls` (from the first byte) or `starttls` |
+| User, password | |
+| Folder | `INBOX` |
+
+A mail server on your own network needs `ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK=true` ([Internal network access](Internal-Network-Access)).
+**Test connection** in the dialog opens the folder the way the import does and says what failed.
+
+### Webhook
+
+A mail service posts every mail to `POST /api/mail-ingest/inbound`, raw, with `Content-Type: message/rfc822`, at most
+10 MB. The route answers `404` unless the webhook is the transport and a secret of at least 32 characters is set.
+
+Each request carries three headers:
+
+| Header | Value |
+|---|---|
+| `X-Trek-Timestamp` | The time of sending, in Unix seconds. Requests more than five minutes off are refused. |
+| `X-Trek-Recipient` | The address the mail was sent to (the envelope recipient). Optional; without it TREK reads `Delivered-To`, `X-Original-To` and `To`. |
+| `X-Trek-Signature` | `sha256=` followed by the hex HMAC-SHA256 of `<timestamp>\n<recipient>\n<raw mail>`, keyed with the secret. |
+
+A Cloudflare Email Worker that forwards a mail:
+
+```js
+export default {
+  async email(message, env) {
+    const raw = new Uint8Array(await new Response(message.raw).arrayBuffer());
+    const timestamp = String(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000));
+    const key = await crypto.subtle.importKey('raw', new TextEncoder().encode(env.TREK_SECRET),
+      { name: 'HMAC', hash: 'SHA-256' }, false, ['sign']);
+    const head = new TextEncoder().encode(`${timestamp}\n${message.to}\n`);
+    const signed = new Uint8Array(head.length + raw.length);
+    signed.set(head);
+    signed.set(raw, head.length);
+    const mac = new Uint8Array(await crypto.subtle.sign('HMAC', key, signed));
+    const signature = [...mac].map((b) => b.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
+    const res = await fetch(`${env.TREK_URL}/api/mail-ingest/inbound`, {
+      method: 'POST',
+      headers: {
+        'Content-Type': 'message/rfc822',
+        'X-Trek-Timestamp': timestamp,
+        'X-Trek-Recipient': message.to,
+        'X-Trek-Signature': `sha256=${signature}`,
+      },
+      body: raw,
+    });
+    if (!res.ok) message.setReject(`TREK answered ${res.status}`);
+  },
+};
+```
+
+Postmark and Mailgun forward inbound mail as JSON, not raw; put a small function like the one above between them and
+TREK. The answer is `{"accepted":true,"duplicate":false}`; a mail sent twice is stored once.
+
+## Status
+
+The **Status** card in the dialog shows the last successful read, the last error, and the mails of the last day by
+outcome, in counts only. No subject, sender or content of any mail is shown there.
+
+## Privacy
+
+Forwarded mails are stored encrypted on the server for at most 30 days, and seven days after their booking was added.
+With an AI connection set up, the mail's text and attachments, plus the title, dates and destinations of the
+forwarding person's trips, go to that provider; the sender, recipient and forwarding headers are removed first.
+Without AI, everything stays on the server. Let your users know.
