I have the following to collect emails and write the text to a file. It works. I know they say "If it ain't broke don't fix it." However I've been told pyzmail is old, maybe as Python renews one day it will not work. So I thought I would try and use the module email or imaplib. I import the following at present:
Quote:import sys, os
import pyzmail
import email
from imapclient import IMAPClient
from shutil import copy2
for uid, message_data in server.fetch(unseenMessages, 'RFC822').items(): email_message = email.message_from_bytes(message_data[b'RFC822']) print('UID is ' + str(uid)) print(email_message.get('Subject')) messageSubject = str(email_message.get('Subject')) print('Message subject is ' + messageSubject) messageBody = str(email_message.get('Body')) print('Message body is ' + messageBody) #if not len(messageSubject) == 15: #continue file = messageSubject + '.txt' theFile = open(path + file, 'w') rawMessage = server.fetch(unseenMessages, ['BODY[]', 'FLAGS']) try: message = pyzmail.PyzMessage.factory(rawMessage[uid][b'BODY[]']) text = message.text_part.get_payload().decode(message.text_part.charset) saveText = text.rstrip() theFile.write(saveText) theFile.close() except AttributeError: continueAny tips please about the best way to replace lines 15 and 16? I've been reading the email "get_payload([i[, decode]])" documentation, but I can't really see how it works in practice. I have tried in a shell, but so far no joy, If you know of any links to a simple working example, please let me know.
