Since documenattion on this topic is very “non existing” I thought I
would share this with you:
require ‘net/imap’
imap = Net::IMAP.new(‘my.mail.server’)
imap.login(‘usr’, ‘pwd’)
imap.select(‘Inbox’)
All msgs in a folder
msgs = imap.search([“SINCE”, “1-Jan-1969”])
Read each message
msgs.each do |msgID|
msg = imap.fetch(msgID, [“ENVELOPE”,“UID”,“BODY”] )[0]
Only those with ‘SOMETEXT’ in subject are of our interest
if msg.attr[“ENVELOPE”].subject.index(‘SOMETEXT’) != nil
body = msg.attr[“BODY”]
i = 1
while body.parts[i] != nil
additional attachments attributes
cType = body.parts[i].media_type
cName = body.parts[i].param['NAME']
i+=1
fetch attachment.
attachment = imap.fetch(msgID, "BODY[#{i}]")[0].attr["BODY[#{i}]"]
Save message, BASE64 decoded
File.new(cName,'wb+').write(attachment.unpack('m'))
end
end
end
imap.close
