[Ruby] Fetching Emails from Microsoft Outlook

Puneet Pandey12 Comments

Hi Folks,

Hope everyone is fine and doing good. In this article of mine, I am going to narrate, how you can fetch Emails from your Microsoft Outlook account. I am only going to cover ‘Inbox‘ here. However, the scope of library (Gem) is very vast and you can customize this as per your need.

PREREQUISITE:

  • Ruby
  • ViewPoint Gem: gem install viewpoint

For Debugging, I am using viewpoint/logging/config


require 'rubygems'
require 'viewpoint' # Library for MS Outlook
require 'viewpoint/logging/config' # For Debugging
include Viewpoint::EWS
endpoint = 'YOUR MS EXACHANGE URL COMES HERE' # E.g. https://OUTLOOKSERVER_URL/ews/exchange.asmx
user = 'USERNAME'
pass = 'PASSWORD'
cli = Viewpoint::EWSClient.new endpoint, user, pass
folders = cli.folders
p folders[0].inspect
inbox = cli.get_folder_by_name 'Inbox'
items = inbox.items
p items[0].body.inspect
p items.count

view raw

Hope this helps someone! Keep in touch and Happy Coding 🙂
