I want to know if there is a package out there that allows people to receive emails / drafts / deleted items from for example gmail. I found something that seemed to attempt it but I think the support has stopped for it and also my gmail automatically blocks any login attempts from it (which I can evade but if I want to eventually release it then of course this is not the correct option)
The "Potentially non supported" package: imap_client
I was wondering if someone has found a better / new package that doesn't have that issue or if someone knows how to write one.
Thanks in advance
Didn't really understand if you want to send it using SMTP or if you want to open the mail app.
For sending programmatically: https://pub.dev/packages/mailer
To open the gmail app: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_email_sender
I'm new to Perl and to Active Directory.
I need an example code of connecting into
an Active Directory server
(only address, there's no need to login),
and fetch all the details of a user by id.
I've searched the net and found script only
with the use of Net::ldap, but I am forced
to use Win32::Ole. Could someone please help
me to get it right at this way?
The best way is to use Net::Ldap. If you are not able to do so then the second best approach is to use some kind of Windows tool (like ldifde.exe/csvde.exe) and parse its output.
Basic usage: http://ss64.com/nt/csvde.html

Regards,
I am trying to create a very simple (text based for now) email app for receiving emails. So far i have used this code :
http://www.javaer.org/j2ee/3-javamail/8-javamail-connecting-gmail-using-pop3-with-ssl
The problem is that i when i run this code i am able to get the new emails, only for once. For example if i have a new message in inbox the first time i will this code it will show it but then it wont. Also it seems that i cant see the body contents of the emails which is strange. I was told that it should be better to use imap protocol but i am not entirely sure how.
Specified example really starts once and scans folder and exits (and see answer on POP that removes mail). From description you need some loop that periodically checks catalog and extracts new mails. Look at some swing examples in your JDK how to write window-based program with event loop. You can start dedicated thread that once per minute checks POP server catalog
I'm very new to Perl, and I have absolutely no idea how to approach this. We have an old Perl application which previously used Apache auth; we'd like to replace this with a cookie based form-style authentication. I understand that this is very case-specific, and there is no one answer as such, but some general tips would be much appreciated.
Will I need to edit all .pl files in the website? Or is there a "golden hammer" solution I can use? Is there something on CPAN I can use? We're using Perl v5.8.8 if it matters, and we're using Apache 2 shared hosting. I am happy to provide additional information as is necessary.
For the authentication to be recognized/required, it will need to be checked by the .pl file that initially receives the user's request. So the answer to whether all .pl files will need to be changed depends on how your application is structured:
If the user goes to http://myserver.com/one.pl to do the first thing and http://myserver.com/two.pl to do the second thing, then, yes, you'll need to change them all because they're all receiving requests individually.
If the user goes to http://myserver.com/dispatch.pl?mode=one for the first thing and http://myserver.com/dispatch.pl?mode=two for the second thing and dispatch.pl calls either one.pl or two.pl behind the scenes based on the mode parameter, then you only need to change dispatch.pl, since it's the only one directly receiving requests from the user.
Edited to add: If you're dealing with the first model, then I'd strongly recommend setting up an external module (.pm file) with the cookie-handling code and calling that from each of your individual .pl files instead of duplicating that code all over the place. Ideally, this would let you get by with only a few lines of added code in each .pl:
use MyCookieHandlingModule qw(verify_cookie redirect_to_login);
my $q = CGI->new; # ...unless you're already using CGI in object-oriented mode
redirect_to_login unless verify_cookie($q);
You could do it at a level outside the Perl program.
Thanks for your answers guys, but I eventually decided on CGI::Session::Auth::DBI which works well on shared hosting.
I want to download some Yahoo Groups (files, photos, messages, memberlist) and I've found these scripts:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/grabyahoogroup/
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62034
I've downloaded ActivePerl and the needed modules from CPAN (nothing fancy; they're very easy to find). I've managed to install them, but when I run the script I get an error after it tells me that I've successfully logged in:
"Use of uninitialized value $cells in pattern match (m//) at yahoogroups_files.pl line 244, line 2."
I'm guessing that Yahoo changed the layout of the page or something, but I'm not able to update the script myself. I'm a newbie when it comes to Perl and understanding the way Yahoo generates the pages, I only know some basic C++. I want to mention that I'm not lazy, I'll try do fix it myself but I need your help: hints, advice, anything.
PS: I've contacted the author, but he isn't willing to update the scripts.
You would need knowledge in the following fields:
use of an html parser
http knowledge ( get/post/head )
web scraping
I suggest you focus on WWW::Mechanize since it's capable of all these things ( and more )
EDIT: another solution ( that doesn't need programming ) , is this: login with your browser on yahoo groups, store the cookie, and then run wget , passing the stored cookie as a parameter. This way you'll get the task accomplished very fast.
Find your browser's cookies.txt file on your harddrive, and then call wget like this ( if I remember the commands correctly ) :
wget --load-cookies path_to_cookie_file -r -w 60 website
The full man page can be found here
EDIT2: Another option is to use WebDriver to automate firefox. You can use this article as a guide on how to accomplish this.
By the filename I'm assuming you're using Yahoo Group archiver found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grabyahoogroup/
I ran the files script against the SubEthaEdit group and it works great. All of the files downloaded without incident.
Looking at the code it seems to barf while processing an html table in a while loop if $cells is empty.
Considering the code did work when I tested it it's possible there's something going on with the listing of that group's files. You'll want to try outputting $content and figure out where and why the regular expression on 243 isn't able to process that html.
EDIT: If you don't mind posting the group this is happening with I'm sure myself or someone else here can try it out and troubleshoot on their own. It's tough to pinpoint what's up when the issue can't be duplicated. Also, try the same group I did and see if it works out for you. Certainly something up with the group you're trying if that works.
Dunno if it will help you, but here's what I did to get the message-download working:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3283915&forum_id=209170
(I only used message-download, I didn't look at file-download)
Was tinkering on this a while ago to backup my girlfriend's group messages and files from uni. Upon debugging on the latest scripts I've found out that there seems to be a bug on group_domain declaration (theres also a group declaration bug that i've found on yahoo2maildir.pl of the same project, see $request)
($group_domain) = $url =~ /\/\/(.*?groups.yahoo.com)\//;
in this case, i've overwritten the $request var under the function sub download_folder() with
from <br>
$request = GET "http://$group_domain/group/$group/files$sub_folder/";
<br> to <br>
$request = GET "http://**groups.yahoo.com/group/$user_group**/files$sub_folder/";
grabyahoogroup works well in the latest edition, which can be found at the svn repo:
http://grabyahoogroup.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/grabyahoogroup/trunk/yahoo_group/
The version at sourceforge.net/projects/grabyahoogroup/files/ HAS BUGS AND DID NOT WORK FOR ME.
I've been looking for a tool that collects messages/conversations from Yahoo Groups!. I finally found this tool that converts your Yahoo! Groups messages into MBOX format after struggling to try to make my own and searching everywhere on the internet.
Download tools
Both of the following are Google Chrome extensions.

Plain string to Base64 binary data
At some time past September 16, 2010 (at least for me), the messages retrieved are no longer plain text and instead Base 64 binary data (ASCII). Using this swiss converter tool can allow you to read the data as it is.
Sample content from the MBOX format
