# Simple IMAP downloader

A single file Python script to download all emails from an IMAP inbox into single EML files, one per email, into a folder structure representing the same folder structure in the IMAP inbox

## Arguments

Mandatory:

--server
--email
--user
--password

Optional (if not supplied, use sensible defaults)

--ssl or --starttls (either allowed but not both)
--port

## Environment

There is a virtual Python environment set up in .venv - use it

## Additional requirements

- limit the number of returned emails with '--limit xxx' - this is mainly to be used for debugging purposes
- ensure that file attachments (if available) are downloaded as well - zip these up into a single zip file and name it after the downloaded .eml file but with .zip instead
- keep track of the latest email downloaded - if `--update` is specified then just pull back emails newer than the last email downloaded
