How to configure the Logstash IMAP plugin to receive email from an SMTP server

I have an SMTP server (using a SMTP virtual server on a Windows 2012 server) and a CentOS machine. On a CentOS machine, I have installed ELK. Now I want to configure Logstash to receive email from SMTP server using the IMAP plugin.

Please help me.

Thank you very much.

Below is the logstash config below. Please change the settings and output the plugins according to your needs.

logstash.conf

input{
    imap{
        host => "SERVER_IP"
        user => "USERNAME"
        password => "************"
        port => PORT_NUMBER
        secure => true/false
        check_interval => INTERVAL_SECONDS
    }
}
output{
    stdout{
        codec => "json"
    }
}


Then start logstash using the following command

bin/logstash -f "logstash.conf"

This should check email for every configured check_interval duration in seconds and fire an event.
