parvezp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All, We have an application which reads mails from an IMAP mailbox. I am using Mail::IMAPClient ver2.29 for this task. Is there a way to extract attachments sent along with the mails to this mailbox?

I cant see any such thing in the module documentation.
Please help

Thanks,
Parvez

    You use Mail::IMAPClient to retrieve messages. To parse them you need another tool, take a look at MIME::Tools, it will do what you want. There is an example script, examples/mimeexplode that shows how to disassemble a multipart message.
