Processing Emails

[BigEfromDaBX 25]

Hi,

 

I need to log into my email account and the the following:

 

1. Find emails which the subject contains "has shipped".
2. Then grab a link from the email.
3. The navigate to that link

So far what I have is:

 

connect to mail server

create table from emails

 

so how do I grab the emails which have the subject I need?  Once I grab the email I can grab the link using regex which im pretty good at.  Just not to familiar with tables and searching them.

 

Thanks,

I would create a filter at your email service to put all emails in a folder and make it easier to search thru them.

 

Then you can send your bot to that folder only and make coding easier

I guess I can do that.  But that would be cheating

 

what about the $table search feature located here http://wiki.ubotstudio.com/wiki/$table_search

Hi

 

I found email to table not reliable and emails not sorted always properly so I use a manual browser and folders for my usages.

Thanks @nuc63.  I guess i will attack it through the cpanel webmail.  Im sure you are familiar with cpanel.  Any preference in webmail browser Horde, Roundcube, Squirremail?

I can't remember which ones of those will work. I use gmail live.com as my main mail boxes
