I do this sort of thing with Python and its 'imaplib'
Something like this will return a list of all unseen messages in
the security folder where Subject contains 'Sec-Blocked'.
import imaplib
conn = imaplib.IMAP4('example.com')
c, d = conn.login('username', 'password')
c, n = conn.select('INBOX.security')
c, s = conn.uid('search', None, '(UNSEEN HEADER SUBJECT Sec-Blocked)')
msgnumbers = s[0].split()
unseenUIDs = set(msgnumbers) # using set for later manipulations
for uid in sorted(unseenUIDs)
# do something for each uid
# done

Subject: [CentOS] OT: Extracting Subject Lines from IMAP Mailbox
Looking for a command-line way to extract only the Subject lines from my
mailbox on my ISP's IMAP server, without actually downloading/modifying
the contents of the mailbox. Sort of the remote equivalent of locally
doing:
$ grep ^Subject /var/spool/mail/mymailbox subjectlistfile
Thanks.

Don't see this in the usual repos, but I do see the epel repo has something called uw-imap-utils, which seem to date to 2007. I'll take a look at both. -- Tim Evans | 5 Chestnut Court UNIX System Admin Consulting| Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 tkev...@tkevans.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
