Mail mailread.rb

Hi,

on Ruby 1.8.7 mailread.rb was part of the Std-lib:

On Ruby >= 1.9.x it is not.

Any hint on what can one use now to create a mail message from a
(mbox) file, so that one can read the message text into the object and
get the header, body etc ?

Giving a little update to this old gmail importer script:

github.com

pedromg/2gmail.rb/blob/master/2gmail.rb#L80


      
          # append all the mbox messages
          @log.info("=================")
          @log.info("Bulk Upload Start")
          count = 0
          errors = 0
          # position in the correct index
          while (count < @start) and ([email protected]?) : count += 1 end 
          # start
          while [email protected]?
            begin
              @msg = Mail.new(@mbox)
              imsg = wrap_msg
              @log.debug("Executing msg. [#{count}] : #{@msg.header["Subject"]} : #{@msg.header["Date"]}")
              @imap.append(@folder, imsg, nil, Time.parse(@msg.header["Date"]))
              count += 1
              p "Successfully sent message nr.: #{count}"
            rescue => e
              @log.warn("Error in msg. [#{count}] : #{@msg.header["Subject"]} : #{@msg.header["Date"]}")
              errors += 1
              p "Error in msg [#{count}]: #{e}"
              next

Thanks,

rubygem mail seems to be the one to use nowadays. I’m unclear if it
supports mbox format files, though.

yes, that’s a great gem, great test suite.

I created the mailread gem because this is an ultra compact lib and
useful for my go2gmail script.
Available at:
http://rubygems.org/gems/mailread
