Hi FME's World!
I'm trying to read emails from Outlook or GMail with my FME Desktop. I found out that it would be possible in Python, would you sugegest to use the PythonCaller or PythonCreator?
I found some Python code but FME runs indefinitly at "Emptying factory pipeline".
import email, getpass, imaplib, os detach_dir = '.' # directory where to save attachments (default: current) user = raw_input("email") pwd = getpass.getpass("pwd") # connecting to the gmail imap server m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com") m.login(user,pwd) m.select("[Gmail]/All Mail") # here you a can choose a mail box like INBOX instead # use m.list() to get all the mailboxes resp, items = m.search(None, "ALL") # you could filter using the IMAP rules here (check http://www.example-code.com/csharp/imap-search-critera.asp) items = items[0].split() # getting the mails id for emailid in items: resp, data = m.fetch(emailid, "(RFC822)") # fetching the mail, "`(RFC822)`" means "get the whole stuff", but you can ask for headers only, etc email_body = data[0][1] # getting the mail content mail = email.message_from_string(email_body) # parsing the mail content to get a mail object #Check if any attachments at all if mail.get_content_maintype() != 'multipart': continue print "["+mail["From"]+"] :" + mail["Subject"] # we use walk to create a generator so we can iterate on the parts and forget about the recursive headach for part in mail.walk(): # multipart are just containers, so we skip them if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart': continue # is this part an attachment ? if part.get('Content-Disposition') is None: continue filename = part.get_filename() counter = 1 # if there is no filename, we create one with a counter to avoid duplicates if not filename: filename = 'part-%03d%s' % (counter, 'bin') counter += 1 att_path = os.path.join(detach_dir, filename) #Check if its already there if not os.path.isfile(att_path) : # finally write the stuff fp = open(att_path, 'wb') fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=True)) fp.close()
Thanks a lot.
