Fetch Email

Fetch Email content We need either python or perl module that will be used to: read e-mail from certain POP3 mailbox. check if the email has attachments that are MS WORD or PDF or HTML or TXT files (the check should be based NOT only by the file .extension !) if the attachment is one of the above formats then save the attachments to disk using unique file name with the original file extension. (the module should have interface to set the directory where emails are saved) Create a text file in the same directory with the following format sender email current date in a dd/mm/yyyy format subject line (one line) email body empty line original attachment file name #1,the name of the file #1 on disk original attachment file name #2,the name of the file #2 on disk ... original attachment file name #N,the name of the file #N on disk The filename should be unique with the extension ".mail" all filenames must include only alphanumeric characters The module should have the following interface methods (and probably some other) 1. Set the extract to directory 2. Set POP3 server, username & password 3. Set callback function that will be called after every email processing this callback function should get: sender email the unique *.mail filename created the extract to directory 4. method that should read the mailbox it should return the number of emails read or negative error code as needed 5. method that gets the above return value and return 0 if there is no error or a descriptive error string like "wrong username or password" "server timeout" etc... all the parameters needed must be provided using interface methods The bidder should create a unit test cgi application on his server that based on a form that enable entering pop3 server suername & password and will display content of all *.mail files created (the bidder can select the extract to directory himself...) every \n is replaced by and the name of the file on disk is link that enable downloading the attachment file. the application will display the error string if it failed to read the emailbox for some reason. no special design needed this cgi application is only for testing the bider work before we approve it, we will do test for period of 5 days before approving the work we should get all the source code documented and we get all copyrights and we can do whatever we want with the code including changing it and reselling it, eating it ..:-) the module should be compatible with ms windows and all the module dependencies as well, it must be based only on open source code no special modules that cost money or limit our ability to distribute the code are allowed ! we want simple code that is easy to maintain we have several other modules we need so if you do well on this one you may get others too. we do not want you to use MS mail object model - it requires e-mail application (outlook) installation nor we want VB. Python or perl is a MUST
