Hi Zeljko,
Thanks. You are always helpful.
I think you are on vacation Yesterday, otherwise i could have done it
yesterday.
I tried doing the stuff using "mail" gem, but it didn't worked [Reason
is : im not much aware of this gem].
I posted query on ruby mail forum too, but no replies to solve my
problem.
If i use "mail" gem, then when i try to access new unread email, it
fails, it always returns first mail whether it is read or unread.
Here is what i posted on mail forum :
######################
Hi,
I added following code in my WATIR script, and abel to get first
email from my Inbox
require 'mail'
require 'openssl'
Mail.defaults do
retriever_method :pop3, :address =>
"email.someemail.com",
:port => 995,
:user_name => 'domain/username',
:password => 'pwd',
:enable_ssl => true
end
puts Mail.first
I am new to this forum and have following questions :
1. How can I get all the unread emails ?
2. How can I get all links that are present inside emails? or
mail message body from the email?
3. Can I click Links present inside an email? [This i can do once
i have an link]
4. How can I get emails from a specific folder, if I have
subfolders?
If some one can help me, then that will be nice.
Thanks in advance.

The webpage for mail gem states that if you use mail.first, it will
return first unread email, so oi did that.
When i have not received any input/help here, i thought i can use
Autoit, to get it working from outlook.
With autoit, still im struggling to mark mail as "read" from "unread"
once i get details [mail body] from the mail.
And if i use mail gem, then in that case, im totally stuck.
If you can help me on "mail" gem, with questions i posted, then it
will be very helpfull. Also if you tell me how to mark mail as "read"
from "unread" when i use mail gem.
thanks
Bhavesh
