How to receive emails with Rails
About half way down the page you see an example for polling emails from a POP3 server (edited for space):
require 'net/pop'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../config/environment'
logger = RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
logger.info "Running Mail Importer..."
Net::POP3.start("mail.server.net", nil, "username", "password") do |pop|
if pop.mails.empty?
logger.info "NO MAIL"
else
pop.mails.each do |email|
begin
logger.info "receiving mail..."
Mailman.receive(TMail::Mail.parse(email.pop))
email.delete
rescue Exception => e
logger.error e.message
end
end
end
end
logger.info "Finished Mail Importer."
So try this with a GMail server and you get no connection. Why? Because Google uses SSL when logging in via POP3. So the I looked around and found someone using SSL to login via POP3. All they did was add this line right before trying to start the connection: Net::POP3.enable_ssl(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
Simple enough. I went ahead and tried that, and it blows up with the following error: undefined method `enable_ssl' for Net::POP3:Class. Now trying to find out why this didn't work was annoying, but I finally found out that in the current version of Ruby (1.8.6), Net::POP3 doesn't understand enable_ssl. The edge version, however, does. So, I got the net/pop.rb file and required it instead of the 1.8.6 version and voila! It works! So, instead of just posting this and letting everyone know that you have to do this to make SSL POP3 access work, I made a plugin:
Mail Fetcher
Now the whole world may enjoy SSL POP3 access to their hearts' content. And, it also works with IMAP. Checkout the README and mail_fetcher.rb to get all the details. Enjoy!

This is what we use:

http://slantwisedesign.com/rdoc/fetcher/
It reads a mail.yml file in which you can put ssl: true
Thanks that was really useful. Keep up the excellent work
Ok - This is a great plugin, however, for some reason the POP delete does not seem to be working.
While it appears to delete it (somehow) in the sense that if I try to fetch again from Google it wont, when I log into Google the message is still there?
Any thoughts?
