Download email attachments and then format the data - SpencerH - Oct-06-2018
I have been working on a script for work that downloads email via IMAP, so I use IMAPClient to do that and I can get the emails and see the content. Now I am trying to figure out how to get the attachment and format the data. The attachment is a Tab delimited file that is in txt format.
Here is as far as I get before getting stuck:
import pyzmail
from imapclient import IMAPClient
server = IMAPClient('mail.server.com', use_uid=True, ssl=False)
server.login('[email protected]', 'VerCrazyPassWord')
select_info = server.select_folder('Inbox')
server.search(['SINCE', '01-Oct-2018'])
rawMessage = server.fetch([157], ['BODY[]', 'FLAGS'])
print(rawMessage)
message = pyzmail.PyzMessage.factory(rawMessage[157][b'BODY[]'])

I was able to figure this out.
Use:
print(message.get_payload(1))to get the second object which is the text file attachment.
