Extract attachment

[Deeborg]

Hi,
Could you please let me know if it is possible to extract attachments using get_attachment and save it on disk or write them to a database say MongoDB?

@Deeborg in theory yes. If you're looking for a more specific answer you'll have to provide more context.

I am creating a database of all the mails with data extracted using pypff. However, I am unable to get the attachments as files to store the same in MongoDB. For example, I would like to get pdf attachment from mail as file and store the same in MongoDB or export those files to disk separately.

[joachimmetz]

in that case you'll have to wait until the Python bindings (pypff) are completed as per #2

Got it. Thanks!!
