DESCRIPTION:

A simple interface to proccessing e-mail messages using IMAP, including handling multipart messages and attachments.

SYNOPSIS:

Create a connection using EasyIMAP::Server.connect, and with the connection you can access Folders and Messages. To get a list of all Folders use EasyIMAP::Server#folders, to access the messages in a folder use EasyIMAP::Folder#messages, and to access the Attachments on a Message use EasyIMAP::Message#attachments.

EasyIMAP::Server.connect('mail.example.com', :username => 'username, :password => 'password) do |conn|
  inbox = conn.folders.first
  inbox.messages.each do |m|
    if m.attachments.any? && m.attachments.first.content_type == "application/vnd.ms-excel"
      File.open("/tmp/first_attachment.xls", "w") do |f|
        f.write(m.attachments.first.body)
      end
    end
  end
end
