The Email Properties, allows you to configure the plugin, using standard key=value property notation.
N.B. I've used gmail connection details for all example values.

Plugin Configuration

You'll need to supply all the following properties:

host=imap.gmail.com
username=<your_email>@gmail.com
password=<your_password>    - (google account > security > app passwords - warning: not encrypted)
storeName=imaps
folder=inbox

Filter Configuration

The following optional properties allow you to filter which unread emails are read (on the server side):

subjectContains=jenkins     - (emails containing 'jenkins' case insensitive in the subject)
receivedXMinutesAgo=60      - (emails received in the last hour)
    

Java Imap(/s) Configuration

You can also include java imap properties:

mail.imap.host=imap.gmail.com
mail.imap.port=993
... etc ...
        

Debugging

Don't even try to connect to an Exchange server, without setting these:

mail.debug=true
mail.debug.auth=true
