type_mapping setting doesn't take effect

[hilt86]

Hi @salyh,

Thanks for writing elasticsearch-imap - it is a very cool program, however when I try and apply a mapping, for example the default mapping example in the readme.md or it doesn't seem to take affect on the index.

I have re-created the index many times and when I inspect it with elasticsearch-kopf it always tells me:

"receivedDate": { "type": "string" },

(receivedDate is my field of interest as I need timestamped data)

I have also tried creating the index manually with the default or other mapping and when I do that it fails to actually import the emails (not sure why - have tried setting type_mapping to null too which doesn't make a difference).

Any ideas?
