Receive Mails using TMail. I like to use TMail for receive mail because TMail is best to handle the header of the email object. There are only a few methods that deal directly with the body of the email. So i just thought to share it. I have used pop3 for receive mail and use TMail for parse it.
For use TMail you need to do install gem.
gem install TMail
def popmail
require 'net/pop'
require 'tmail_mail_extension.rb'
pop = Net::POP3.new 'mail.example.com'
pop.start 'test-receive@example.com', 'password'
if pop.mails.empty?
puts 'No mail.'
else
pop.each_mail do |mail|
email = TMail::Mail.parse(mail.pop)
subject = email.subject
from_email = email.from
body = email.body_html
if email.has_attachments?
email.parts.each_with_index do |part, index|
filename = part_filename(part)
content_type = part.content_type
filename ||= "#{index}.#{ext(part)}"
file = filename
fname = file.split(".")
newfilename = fname[0]+'_'+(Time.now.to_i).to_s+'.'+fname[1]
filepath = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/file_attachement/#{newfilename}"
File.open(filepath,'wb'){|f| f.write(part.body)}
filesize= File.size(filepath)
end
end
# Do your Logic after getting details
mail.delete
end
pop.finish
end
def part_filename(part)
file_name = (part['content-location'] &&
part['content-location'].body) ||
part.sub_header("content-type", "name") ||
part.sub_header("content-disposition", "filename")
end
CTYPE_TO_EXT = {
'image/jpeg' => 'jpg',
'image/gif' => 'gif',
'image/png' => 'png',
'image/tiff' => 'tif'
}
def ext( mail )
CTYPE_TO_EXT[mail.content_type] || 'txt'
end
Note: You can get body part of email by email.body and no need to use of tmail_mail_extension.rb
But it gives your body part two times. one in normal text of body and second is html of the same body. If you want only html of the body then you need tmail_mail_extension.rb. I found that logic of tmail_mail_extension.rb file from somewhere, i forgot the link for that.
But you can write below which i found from somewhere. Write below code in tmail_mail_extention.rb
tmail_mail_extention.rb
module TMail
class Mail
# returs an String with just the html part of the body
# or nil if there is not any html part
def body_html
result = nil
if multipart?
parts.each do |part|
if part.multipart?
part.parts.each do |part2|
result = part2.unquoted_body if part2.content_type =~ /html/i
end
elsif !attachment?(part)
result = part.unquoted_body if part.content_type =~ /html/i
end
end
else
result = unquoted_body if content_type =~ /html/i
end
result
end
def parts_observer
puts "INI"
puts "content_type: #{content_type}"
puts "body: #{body}"
puts "parts.size: #{parts.size}"
if multipart?
parts.each_with_index do |part, index|
puts ""
puts " parts[#{index}]"
puts " content_type: #{part.content_type}"
puts " multipart? #{part.multipart?}"
header = part["content-type"]
if part.multipart?
puts " --multipartt--"
part.parts.each_with_index do |part2, index2|
puts " part[#{index}][#{index2}]"
puts " content_type: #{part2.content_type}"
puts " body: #{part2.unquoted_body}"
end
elsif header.nil?
puts " --header nil--"
elsif !attachment?(part)
puts " --no multipart, no header nil, no attachment--"
puts " content_type: #{part.content_type}"
puts " body: #{part.unquoted_body}"
else
puts " --no multipart, no header nil, attachment--"
puts " content_type: #{part.content_type}"
end
end
else
puts " --no multipart--"
puts " content_type: #{content_type}"
puts " body: #{unquoted_body}"
end
puts "END"
end
end
end
