Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • imaplib
  • email

Setup

  1. Install the required modules .
  2. Open the script in a text editor and set the MAIL_ADDRESS, MAIL_PASSWORD, and imap_server variables to the appropriate values for your email account.
  3. Set the mailList variable to a dictionary where the keys are folder names and the values are lists of email addresses. Emails from addresses in these lists will have their attachments downloaded to the corresponding folder.

Usage

  1. Run the script by navigating to its directory in your terminal and running python <script_name>.py.
  2. The script will download attachments from emails in the specified email account and save them to folders named after the keys in the mailList dictionary.
