rule "Unread folder count"
when 
    $m : IMAPMessage( )
then
    logger.info("Received message for: {}", $m.name);

    GenericMetric m = new GenericMetric();
    m.type = "IMAP:Unread Count";
    m.name = $m.name;
    m.timestamp = $m.timestamp;
    m.value = (double)$m.folder.getUnreadMessageCount();
    datamart.insert(m, context);
