connect-to-exchange-mailbox-with-python/3072491....I have refereed the following link to connect to Exchange Online and download attachments and read mails on windows(using Python and exchangelib library). Now I want to accomplish the same task on CentOS but when I manually download the exchangelib
library and install it.
Whenever I try to import exchangelib, it throws an error like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "exchangelib/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
from .account import Account # noqa
File "exchangelib/account.py", line 8, in <module>
from cached_property import threaded_cached_property
ImportError: No module named cached_property
What might be the problem?
My main objective is to read emails and download them. No imap/pop3 server address is available. Is there an alternative to exchangelib
?
from exchangelib import DELEGATE, Account, Credentials
credentials = Credentials(
username='MYWINDOMAIN\\myusername',
password='topsecret'
)
account = Account(
primary_smtp_address='[email protected]',
credentials=credentials,
autodiscover=True,
access_type=DELEGATE
)
# Print first 100 inbox messages in reverse order
for item in account.inbox.all().order_by('-datetime_received')[:100]:
print(item.subject, item.body, item.attachments)
I have used this code in Windows. Help me out with Linux.
This is how you read all emails and store all attachments with exchangelib
:
from exchangelib import ServiceAccount, Configuration, Account, DELEGATE
import os
from config import cfg
credentials = ServiceAccount(username=cfg['imap_user'],
password=cfg['imap_password'])
config = Configuration(server=cfg['imap_server'], credentials=credentials)
account = Account(primary_smtp_address=cfg['smtp_address'], config=config,
autodiscover=False, access_type=DELEGATE)
unread = account.inbox.filter() # returns all mails
for msg in unread:
print(msg)
print("attachments ={}".format(msg.attachments))
print("conversation_id ={}".format(msg.conversation_id))
print("last_modified_time={}".format(msg.last_modified_time))
print("datetime_sent ={}".format(msg.datetime_sent))
print("sender ={}".format(msg.sender))
print("text_body={}".format(msg.text_body.encode('UTF-8')))
print("#" * 80)
for attachment in msg.attachments:
fpath = os.path.join(cfg['download_folder'], attachment.name)
with open(fpath, 'wb') as f:
f.write(attachment.content)
