Dear Monks,
I am trying to read my emails with Perl, using the following code:
use strict;
use warnings;
# required modules
use Net::IMAP::Simple;
use Email::Simple;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
# fill in your details here
my $username = 'xxxxx';
my $password = 'yyyy';
my $mailhost = 'pop.gmail.com';
# Connect
my $imap = Net::IMAP::Simple->new(
$mailhost,
port => 993,
use_ssl => 1,
) || die "Unable to connect to IMAP: $Net::IMAP::Simple::errstr\n";
# Log in
if ( !$imap->login( $username, $password ) ) {
print STDERR "Login failed: " . $imap->errstr . "\n";
exit(64);
}
# Look in the the INBOX
my $nm = $imap->select('INBOX');
# How many messages are there?
my ($unseen, $recent, $num_messages) = $imap->status();
print "unseen: $unseen, recent: $recent, total: $num_messages\n\n";
## Iterate through unseen messages
for ( my $i = 1 ; $i <= $nm ; $i++ ) {
if ( $imap->seen($i) ) {
next;
}
else {
my $es = Email::Simple->new( join '', @{ $imap->top($i) } );
printf( "[%03d] %s\n\t%s\n", $i, $es->header('From'), $es->header(
+'Subject'), $es->body ('Body'));
}
}
# Disconnect
$imap->quit;
exit;
The code works fine, but I cannot see the body of the email (I can see the "From", "Subject" etc), probably the
$es->body ('Body') is wrong, but I do not know what the correct would be, can you help me?
