I'm trying to use python imaplib.IMAP4_SSL to download attachments from gmail. But the problem is if the attachment is larger than 25M, it will be automatically converted to a file in google drive. By using the code below, I cannot find the attachment. Does anyone know how to access and download the file in google drive attached in gmail?
conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")
conn.login(config.username, config.password)
conn.select("Inbox")
resp, items = conn.search(None, '(FROM "xx@xx.com")')
items = items[0].split()
flag = False
emailid = items[-1]
resp, data = conn.fetch(emailid, "(RFC822)")
email_body = data[0][1]
mail = email.message_from_string(email_body)
msg = email.message_from_string(data[0][1])
for part in mail.walk():
if (part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart'):
continue
if (part.get('Content-Disposition') is None):
continue
attachment_name = part.get_filename()
filename = "attachment_trial.xlsx"
fp = open(filename, 'wb')
fp.write(part.get_payload(decode = True))
fp.close()
flag = True
return flag
