Rails - Apr 2007 - Re: Follow-Up: Receiving Inbound Email and Creating Data in

Julien,

Thanks, I will probably end up with backgroundrb, which I have used in other
situations with good results.  I have just been trying to toy around and find
something that would work and be a little more simple.

Thanks to all for the help.  Julien, post a followup with you results if time
allows.

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi nathan,

May be you need to look to check backgroundrb and create a scheduled 
worker that will check for email every x minutes .. or hours ...

I will have a try soon as I want my users to be able to upload photos by 
email ;-)

Backgroundrb is here : http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/

Note that it can integrate with rails easily ;-) as long as you work on 
a unix machine.

Happy rails coding everyone !

One suggestion:

      imap.search([''ALL'']).each do |message_id|
        msg =
imap.fetch(message_id,''RFC822'')[0].attr[''RFC822'']
        envelope = imap.fetch(message_id, "ENVELOPE")
[0].attr["ENVELOPE"]
        Mailman.receive(msg)
        #Mark message as deleted and it will be removed from storage
when user session closd
        imap.store(message_id, "+FLAGS", [:Deleted])
      end

Then you shouldn''t need to delete separately.
