I have a bunch of 500 emails, each with attachments.
I’d like to write a python script that would scroll through all email messages, and saves these attachments to disk. How do I go about it?
Also, suppose I could choose which email program will be used to retrieve the messages from the POP3 server — would it be best to use Evolution? Thunderbird? some other program?
There is no need to use an e-mail client to get your e-mail, not when Python has a perfectly cromulent poplib module and also an email module for parsing out the attachments.
