Net::IMAP implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) client functionality. The protocol is described in IMAP.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'net-imap'

And then execute:

$ bundle install 

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install net-imap 

imap = Net::IMAP.new('mail.example.com') imap.authenticate('LOGIN', 'joe_user', 'joes_password') imap.examine('INBOX') imap.search(["RECENT"]).each do |message_id| envelope = imap.fetch(message_id, "ENVELOPE")[0].attr["ENVELOPE"] puts "#{envelope.from[0].name}: \t#{envelope.subject}" end

imap = Net::IMAP.new('mail.example.com') imap.authenticate('LOGIN', 'joe_user', 'joes_password') imap.select('Mail/sent-mail') if not imap.list('Mail/', 'sent-apr03') imap.create('Mail/sent-apr03') end imap.search(["BEFORE", "30-Apr-2003", "SINCE", "1-Apr-2003"]).each do |message_id| imap.copy(message_id, "Mail/sent-apr03") imap.store(message_id, "+FLAGS", [:Deleted]) end imap.expunge

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
