Simple enough, the IMAP extension is not activated in your PHP installation. It is not enabled by default. If your local installation is running XAMPP on Windows, you have to enable it as described in the XAMPP FAQ: Where is the IMAP support for PHP? As default, the IMAP support for PHP is deactivated in … Read more
You don’t need to dirtily hack imaplib. You could try using the SocksiPy package, which supports socks4, socks5 and http proxy (connect): Something like this, obviously you’d want to handle the setproxy options better, via extra arguments to a custom __init__ method, etc. from imaplib import IMAP4, IMAP4_SSL, IMAP4_PORT, IMAP4_SSL_PORT from socks import sockssocket, PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4, … Read more
For any future python travellers. Here is a class that downloads any attachment found for an email and saves it to a specific location. import email import imaplib import os class FetchEmail(): connection = None error = None def __init__(self, mail_server, username, password): self.connection = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(mail_server) self.connection.login(username, password) self.connection.select(readonly=False) # so we can mark mails … Read more
after a lot of work, and assistance from the people at JavaMail, the source of this “slowness” is from the FETCH behavior in the API. Indeed, as pjaol said, we return to the server each time we need info (a header, or message content) for a message. If FetchProfile allows us to bulk fetch header … Read more
We are actively working on OAuth support for IMAP connections to O365 mailboxes. We will make a public announcement once the same is available.
An email message consists of a single MIME part, or a multipart structure with multiple MIME parts. If there is no multipart structure, the message is compatible with pre-MIME RFC822 messages, and the Content-type: etc headers are optional (if you don’t spell out a content type and encoding, Content-type: text/plain; charset=”us-ascii” and Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit are … Read more
Using imaps was a great suggestion. Neither of the answers provided just worked for me, so I googled some more and found something that worked. Here’s how my code looks now. Properties props = System.getProperties(); props.setProperty(“mail.store.protocol”, “imaps”); try { Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null); Store store = session.getStore(“imaps”); store.connect(“imap.gmail.com”, “<username>@gmail.com”, “<password>”); … } catch (NoSuchProviderException … Read more
I’d recommend looking at MailKit as it is probably the most robust mail library out there and it’s Open Source (MIT). One of the awesome things about MailKit is that all network APIs are cancelable (something I haven’t seen available in any other IMAP library). It’s also the only library that I know of that … Read more
I’ve been searching for an IMAP solution for a while now, and after trying quite a few, I’m going with AE.Net.Mail. You can download the code by going to the Code tab and click the small ‘Download’ icon. As the author does not provide any pre-built downloads, you must compile it yourself. (I believe you … Read more
