Issue
I need to download incoming attachment without past attachment from mail using Python Script.
For example:If anyone send mail at this time(now) then just download that attachment only into local drive not past attachments.
Please anyone help me to download attachment using python script or java.
Solution
import email
import imaplib
import os
class FetchEmail():
connection = None
error = None
mail_server="host_name"
username="outlook_username"
password="password"
self.save_attachment(self,msg,download_folder)
def __init__(self, mail_server, username, password):
self.connection = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(mail_server)
self.connection.login(username, password)
self.connection.select(readonly=False) # so we can mark mails as read
def close_connection(self):
"""
Close the connection to the IMAP server
"""
self.connection.close()
def save_attachment(self, msg, download_folder="/tmp"):
"""
Given a message, save its attachments to the specified
download folder (default is /tmp)
return: file path to attachment
"""
att_path = "No attachment found."
for part in msg.walk():
if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart':
continue
if part.get('Content-Disposition') is None:
continue
filename = part.get_filename()
att_path = os.path.join(download_folder, filename)
if not os.path.isfile(att_path):
fp = open(att_path, 'wb')
fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=True))
fp.close()
return att_path
def fetch_unread_messages(self):
"""
Retrieve unread messages
"""
emails = []
(result, messages) = self.connection.search(None, 'UnSeen')
if result == "OK":
for message in messages[0].split(' '):
try:
ret, data = self.connection.fetch(message,'(RFC822)')
except:
print "No new emails to read."
self.close_connection()
exit()
msg = email.message_from_string(data[0][1])
if isinstance(msg, str) == False:
emails.append(msg)
response, data = self.connection.store(message, '+FLAGS','\\Seen')
return emails
self.error = "Failed to retrieve emails."
return emails
Above code works for me to download attachment. Hope this really helpful for any one.
