Another option (though maybe more effort) is to use Net::IMAP::Simple to connect to your imap server and list out the relevant messages, assuming all you needed was subject line and timestamp.

my $email_date= DateTime::Format::Mail->new->loose; my $imap= Net::IMAP::Simple->new($host, ...) or die; $imap->select($mailbox) or die; @message_ids= $imap->search("(SUBJECT foo)") or die; for my $msg_id (@message_ids) { my $header_lines= $imap->top($msg_id) or die; my $head= MIME::Head->from_file(\join('', @$header_lines)); my $date= $email_date->parse_datetime($head->get("Date")); my $subject= $head->get("Subject"); printf "%s %s : %s\n", $date->ymd, $date->hms, $subject; }

There's a bit more work to do if you have UTF-7 subject lines or need to unpack the date timestamp from the Received headers rather than the sender's date header.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
