15 mins mail fetch

You're looking for a solution to fetch emails from a mailbox and process them within 15 minutes. Here are a few options:

Option 1: IMAP Client

You can use an IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) client like imaplib in Python or imap in Node.js to connect to a mailbox and fetch emails. Here's an example in Python:

import imaplib
import email

# Connect to the mailbox
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
mail.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')
mail.select('inbox')

# Fetch emails
status, messages = mail.search(None, 'ALL')
messages = messages[0].split()

# Process each email
for num in messages:
    status, msg = mail.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
    raw_message = msg[0][1].decode('utf-8')
    message = email.message_from_string(raw_message)
    # Process the email content
    print(message['Subject'], message['From'])

# Close the connection
mail.close()
mail.logout()

Option 2: Email API

You can use an email API like Mailgun, Sendgrid, or Amazon SES to fetch emails and process them. These APIs provide a simple way to fetch emails and send them to your application for processing.

For example, with Mailgun, you can use the mailgun-ruby gem to fetch emails:

require 'mailgun'

mg = Mailgun::Client.new('your_domain', 'your_api_key')

# Fetch emails
emails = mg.inbox.all

# Process each email
emails.each do |email|
  # Process the email content
  puts email.subject, email.from
end

Option 3: Cron Job

You can set up a cron job to run a script that fetches emails and processes them every 15 minutes. This approach requires setting up a scheduler like cron on your system.

For example, you can use a Python script like this:

import imaplib
import email

# Connect to the mailbox
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
mail.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')
mail.select('inbox')

# Fetch emails
status, messages = mail.search(None, 'ALL')
messages = messages[0].split()

# Process each email
for num in messages:
    status, msg = mail.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
    raw_message = msg[0][1].decode('utf-8')
    message = email.message_from_string(raw_message)
    # Process the email content
    print(message['Subject'], message['From'])

# Close the connection
mail.close()
mail.logout()

And then set up a cron job to run this script every 15 minutes:

*/15 * * * * python /path/to/your/script.py

Remember to replace [email protected] and your_password with your actual email credentials, and your_domain and your_api_key with your actual Mailgun domain and API key.
