webmail-SquirrelMail Fetcher In Python

[Guest]

Thanks for your help.
I wish I could do that; however our IT department is ... Zelis ... About
security; it's a school district, so lots of confidential data, etc, etc
(their reason).
Oh well, I'll look for an imap server on the network if I can, but I doubt
I'll find it normally.
If anyone else has any other info, I'd appreciate it.


THX Much,
Brandon McGinty

I've been looking on the net for a program to gather e-mails from the
squirrelmail interface, and haven't found any.
My office only allows me to get e-mail access via webmail, at least
when I'm outside of the corperate network.

Squirrelmail is an IMAP client so there must be an IMAP server on the
server side somewhere. Why not talk to your IT dept about accessing
it with a normal mail client instead of messing with screen scraping
madness. Squirrelmail is pretty messy and I gave up on it long ago.

Tell your IT dept that Squirrelmail is a security sieve. Check the
standard ports (143, 993) for the imap server. Yeah, you could
screen-scrape the messages from squirrelmail if you really had to, but
it doesn't seem worth it. Are they at least running squirrelmail over
TLS if they're so security conscious?
