From PYPI:

pip install ptt-mail-backup

執行 ptt-mail-backup ...:

usage: ptt-mail-backup [-h] [-u USER] [-p PASSWORD] [-d DEST] [-v]
                       [-f FILENAME_FORMAT] (-r START END | --all)

Backup PTT mail.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u USER, --user USER  username, otherwise prompt for the value.
  -p PASSWORD, --pass PASSWORD
                        password, otherwise prompt for the value.
  -d DEST, --dest DEST  save to dest. Default: '.'
  -v, --verbose         print verbose message.
  -f FILENAME_FORMAT, --filename-format FILENAME_FORMAT
                        filename format. Default: '{index}. [{board}] {title}
                        [{author}] ({time:%Y%m%d%H%M%S}).ans'
  -r START END, --range START END
                        specify a range (inclusive). Negative values and zeros
                        are allowed, they are treated as (last_index + value)
                        i.e. --range 0 0 would download the last mail. This
                        option could be used multiple times.
  --all                 download all

或是 python -m ptt_mail_backup ...。

下載所有信件到 2018-06-12 資料夾:

ptt-mail-backup -d 2018-06-12 --all

下載最新的十封信件:

ptt-mail-backup -r -9 0

從 CLI 傳入使用者名稱、密碼，並下載最舊的信件:
