    <p>I have a Python script adapted from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7596789/downloading-mms-emails-sent-to-gmail-using-python">Downloading MMS emails sent to Gmail using Python</a></p> <pre><code>import email, getpass, imaplib, os detach_dir = '.' # directory where to save attachments (default: current) user = raw_input("Enter your GMail username:") pwd = getpass.getpass("Enter your password: ") # connecting to the gmail imap server m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com") m.login(user,pwd) m.select("[Gmail]/All Mail") # here you a can choose a mail box like INBOX instead # use m.list() to get all the mailboxes resp, items = m.search(None, 'FROM', '"Impact Stats Script"') # you could filter using the IMAP rules here (check http://www.example-code.com/csharp/imap-search-critera.asp) items = items[0].split() # getting the mails id for emailid in items: resp, data = m.fetch(emailid, "(RFC822)") # fetching the mail, "`(RFC822)`" means "get the whole stuff", but you can ask for headers only, etc email_body = data[0][1] # getting the mail content mail = email.message_from_string(email_body) # parsing the mail content to get a mail object #Check if any attachments at all if mail.get_content_maintype() != 'multipart': continue print "["+mail["From"]+"] :" + mail["Subject"] # we use walk to create a generator so we can iterate on the parts and forget about the recursive headach for part in mail.walk(): # multipart are just containers, so we skip them if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart': continue # is this part an attachment ? if part.get('Content-Disposition') is None: continue filename = part.get_filename() counter = 1 # if there is no filename, we create one with a counter to avoid duplicates if not filename: filename = 'part-%03d%s' % (counter, 'bin') counter += 1 att_path = os.path.join(detach_dir, filename) #Check if its already there if not os.path.isfile(att_path) : # finally write the stuff fp = open(att_path, 'wb') fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=True)) fp.close() </code></pre> <p>I am filtering messages by subject and getting the attachments, but now I need to only get attachments from <em>new</em> emails. Can I modify the <code>m.search()</code> somehow to return only unread emails?</p>

    1. COWhat does it mean for an attachment to be _new_? Once an email is sent, the attachments are fixed...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
