fetching an email from a turbogears applicaion

[alonn]

Basically I need to fetch an email with an attachment, get the attachment and process it
turbogears isn't the mail server it should just be able to query the mailbox, get the email and fethc the attachment from the email

the prefered mail server would be microsoft exchange, but if needed I could set a specific gmail acount for this.

any clues how I should address that?

thanks!

you may want to look into python's email libraries, like email, poplib
and imaplib [1].

Robert's advice is perfect.
