我正在尝试从Google邮件帐户保存电子邮件附件.

AFAIK,它可以完成“行走”消息并获取其有效载荷,

for part in message.walk():
    # getting payload, saving attach etc.

但它不起作用.
请参阅以下整个示例：

def test_save_attach(self):
    self.connection = poplib.POP3_SSL('pop.gmail.com', 995)
    self.connection.set_debuglevel(1)
    self.connection.user(USERNAME)
    self.connection.pass_(PASS)

    emails, total_bytes = self.connection.stat()
    print("{0} emails in the inbox, {1} bytes total".format(emails, total_bytes))
    # return in format: (response, ['mesg_num octets', ...], octets)
    msg_list = self.connection.list()
    print(msg_list)

    # messages processing
    for i in range(emails):
        response = self.connection.retr(i+1)
        # return in format: (response, ['line', ...], octets)
        lines = response[1]
        str_message = email.message_from_bytes(b''.join(lines))
        print(str_message)

        # save attach
        for part in str_message.walk():
            print(part.get_content_type())

            if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart':
                continue

            if part.get('Content-Disposition') is None:
                continue

            filename = part.get_filename()
            if not(filename): continue

            fp = open(os.path.join(self.savedir, filename), 'wb')
            fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=1))
            fp.close

    self.connection.quit()

脚本输出是：

*cmd* 'USER **********'
*cmd* 'PASS **********'
*cmd* 'STAT'
*stat* [b'+OK', b'1', b'5301']
1 emails in the inbox, 5301 bytes total
*cmd* 'LIST'
(b'+OK 1 messages (5301 bytes)', [b'1 5301'], 8)
*cmd* 'RETR 1'
[<message headers and body>]
text/plain
*cmd* 'QUIT'

正如我们所看到的,消息的唯一部分是“text / plain”格式,并且不包含任何附加信息,尽管消息体默认包含它,并且可以在调试输出时看到它.

解决方法:

response = self.connection.retr(i+1)
raw_message = response[1]

raw_message不是字符串. retr将消息作为单行列表返回.你试图将列表转换为str(raw_message)的字符串 – 这是行不通的.

相反,将这些线连接在一起,例如,替换

str_message = email.message_from_string(str(raw_message))

有：

python2：

str_message = email.message_from_string("\n".join(raw_message))

python3：

str_message = email.message_from_bytes(b'\n'.join(raw_message))
