I am fairly new to FME and Python.
I have written the python script to extract emails from our outlook server. It is successfully pulling down each email from a mailbox and separating out the body, subject, attachments , etc. These I have placed into attribute elements without any issues ( code below ).
The problem I have is returning each email in the transformer as a separate row. I only get the details of the last email I am downloading. I would like each email to be returned as a dataset - eg the data inspector should show 7 rows for 7 emails.
Any assistance on how I do this thru the pythoncreator transformer would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
