Mailscanner
Mailscanner is a Python 3+ library to assist in composing an email newsletter from multiple relatively standard email messages.
Install
Easiest done via pip pip install pymailscanner
Usage
To use this module, you need to rename the .env-example directory to
.env and fill out your credentials. The ImapReader object then uses
these to log in to your email account using the standard imaplib
library.
Examples
A minimal working example to authenticate and fetch some messages would be like this:
import configparser
from mailscanner import *
def main():
# Initialize configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
# Read the credentials
config.read('/path/to/.env/conf.ini')
# Create a reader object
reader = ImapReader(config)
# Authenticate
connection = reader.open_connection()
# Fetch all messages in INBOX
messages = reader.fetch_all_messages(
connection,
'INBOX',
True)
# Prints out tuples: (subject_data, message_body)
print(messages)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
