Thanks very much.
I am now looking into using a Python IMAP library.
However, I think there must be a way to just dump the contents of a Mutt
page, and that could be an easier short-term solution.
You mentioned there being a print function.
Could you provide an example of using that to print the inbox to stdout? It
would have to be automatic, i.e. not requiring the user to actually open
Mutt themselves and type the print command. So that leads me to the
question of if this command can somehow be passed to mutt as a command line
option, or if there is some bash automation tool for calling it inside Mutt
anyway.
The context is that I just would like to send emails and check for
responses in a more precise and quick way than opening my inbox. I would
like to have commands at my disposal when I am working on something to just
send an email directly and later check for responses to that email, or
check for all new emails from a particular sender. That info would need to
come back as the output of commands, to stdout.
Thanks very much,
Julius
If looking at separate programs, what about "grepmail"?
Ex. grepmail -h -B -e '^Subject: <your subject>' <your mbox>
-h (grep only headers)
-B (print body with limited headers)
