Following the example in the readme, sending email fails when trying to set plain.content (or html.content) because the encoding is nil.

See lines #102 and #168 of mime/entity.rb - together, they end up sending nil.to_s.downcase, but nil does not have a downcase method.

I followed the example found in the wiki 5) Create new emails!

email = gmail.generate_message do
  to "[email protected]"
  subject "Having fun in Puerto Rico!"
  body "Spent the day on the road..."
end

but I get the following error:
undefined method `generate_message' for #Gmail::Client::Plain:0x007f94813a5fa8 (NoMethodError)

Hi,

I installed the ruby-gmail gem via "gem install ruby-gmail". The required dependencies appeared to install fine, which were:

shared-mime-info-0.1
treetop-1.4.7
mail-2.2.1
ruby-gmail-0.2.1

The problem is when I try to run
require 'gmail'
I get the error "no such file to load -- mime/message". Is there another gem I need? Do I need other require statements before the require 'gmail'?

Cheers,
~Mat

On an active connection, the number of unread emails can go from 1 to 0, but not from 0 to 1.

# example : the number of unread emails is at 0
gmail = Gmail.new(...)
puts "unread : #{gmail.inbox.count(:unread)}" # puts 0
# send a test email
puts "unread : #{gmail.inbox.count(:unread)}" # still puts 0
gmail = Gmail.new(...)
puts "unread : #{gmail.inbox.count(:unread)}" # puts 1
# read the email
puts "unread : #{gmail.inbox.count(:unread)}" # puts 0

Looping through and grabbing the body from each message takes a lot longer than asking for them all at once. Need to come up with a good ruby api for this.

Do you have mailing list for this project? Posting question here is wrong way. If you have mailing list, can you share ?.

If the issue is duplicate, forgive me.

When calling message.save_attachments_to, or attachment.save_to_file i get this error:

/home/jnagro/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/ruby-gmail-0.0.8/lib/ietf/rfc2045.rb:20:in `parse_rfc2045_content_from': nested *?+ in regexp: /\r\n--VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb"(?:--)?(?:\r\n|$)/ (RegexpError)

Hey, one of the great advantages of Gmail is threads... is there a way for a given message to retrieve th ethread?

Thanks!

Lines 51-55 of lib/gmail.rb:

# gmail.label(name)
def label(name)
  mailboxes[name] ||= Mailbox.new(self, mailbox)
end
alias :mailbox :label

Change "mailbox" to "name" in line 53 and it's all better.

Hey guys.

Here's my code:

Gmail.new('email', 'password') do |gmail|
gmail.inbox.emails(:unread).each do |e|
...
end
end

I can't pass from gmail.inbox.emails, I always get the following errors:

Any ideas?

version 0.1 requires tmail (even if not stated explicitely) which is not available for JRuby. Version 0.0.8 worked fine

I had to add

content_type 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'

before the

   body "<p>Hello world</p>"

as in the README here: https://github.com/mikel/mail

Without that, it wouldn't recognise the html-ness of my email. Perhaps you could update the readme?

cheers

Contacted the author, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

To fix for ruby1.9, replace line 250 of shared-mime-info.rb with the following:

enum = @globs.each_key rescue Enumerable::Enumerator.new(@globs, :each_key)

Here is my code

  vmFolder = '/home/user/vm/'
  email = gmail.inbox.emails(:unread).first
  email.attachments[0].save_to_file(vmFolder)

Getting this error

Using add_file, I have many recipients that are saying they did not receive the attached file. The attachment appears in the sent file on my gmail server. It appears that gmail accounts and certain other mail providers receive attachments fine, because when testing I did not encounter any problems. One recipient forwarded the email to another account and was able to open the attachment. Here is my code, perhaps someone can make sense of this.

require 'csv'
require 'gmail'

Gmail.new('email','password') do |gmail|
    CSV.foreach("/Users/teacher/Desktop/merge.csv") do |row|
        gmail.deliver do
            to row[5]

            add_file row[4]
        end
    end
end

hi there i have a problem with I tried to access to attachment file, this is my code

gmail.inbox.emails.each do |email|
  if !email.message.attachments.empty?
    email.attachments[0].save_to_file("~/")
  end
end

and this is the error that it throws

gems/mail-2.4.4/lib/mail/message.rb:1289:in `method_missing': undefined method `save_to_file' for #<Mail::Part:0x007ffca9a11d98> (NoMethodError)

Message#archive! does not work in other languages because "All Mail" is hardcoded in message.rb. "Spam" can potentially change too from one language to another.

For example, in Italian while "Spam" is still "Spam", the "All Mail" mailbox is called "Tutti i messaggi"

Does this work with dual authentication? I tried both my regular password, and an app-specific password, but both gave me a GMail object with the state "disconnected".

Hello, Im still trying to read a message from within the inbox. I have connected to the server, found the list of messages, but am unsure what method I should be using to actually view the body of the message.

Using:
gmail.inbox.emails(:unread, :from => mailaddress).each do |email|
email.message
Popped the error "undefined method: message"
This pops up for .read, .body.. etc Am I doing it wrong?

I wrote this in my ruby controller:

@imap = Gmail.new(current_user.google_email,
                              current_user.google_password) do |g|
  emails = g.inbox.emails(:after => 2.days.ago)
  emails.each do |email|
    logger.debug "................................................................................."
    logger.debug email
    logger.debug email.message
    logger.debug "................................................................................."

When I access "logger.debug email.message", i got this error:
.................................................................................

Gmail::Message:0xf5ba518

NoMethodError (undefined method `stringify_keys!' for #String:0xf5b35ec):

Please help me how to solve this error in ruby-gmail 0.2.1

I was can login using one of my normal gmail accounts but I could not with my @rit.edu email. Although it does not look like it RIT uses gmail. I know that the problem is that the part after the user mail

meta.username = username =~ /@/ ? username : username + '@gmail.com'

Is there a way to possibly pass in an optional parameter for the part after the @ or allow people to pass in their entire email?

Hi,

I always get a segmentation fault whenever I try to use ruby-gmail in my rails 3 application.

Here's my steps to generate the error:

rails new my_app -d mysql
cd my_app
echo "gem 'mime'\ngem 'ruby-gmail'" >> Gemfile
bundle install
rails console

In the console:

require 'mime/message'
require 'gmail'
gmail = Gmail.new('my_gmail_email','my_password')

This generates the following error (truncated):

/Users/michaelm/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/imap.rb:1397: [BUG] Segmentation fault

This is under Ruby 1.9.2-p0, Rails 3.0.4 and mysql2 gem 0.2.6.

It works fine under Rails 2.3. It also works fine when I change the database from mysql to sqlite.

Any ideas and how to get it working with mysql?

Thanks,

Michael.

Shortly, I want to begin the next version of ruby-gmail.

This gem should live up to this description:

A Rubyesque interface to Gmail, with all the tools you'll need. Search, read and send multipart emails; archive, mark as read/unread, delete emails; and manage labels.

To get there I think these steps need to be taken:

• convert to use the mail gem behind the scenes
• sketch a newer gmail dsl
• spec out high level stuff
• figure out and full spec out labels

These are very generic todos, but I think they are the path forward. Labels are super important. Also being able to peak and not mark as read will be huge.

If anyone is interested in helping or has comments on the direction please feel free to comment here.

The work for 2.0 will take place on my fork.

Hey, first thank you for your hard work,
I keep getting:

Perhaps you forget to delete line "require 'mime/message'" in message.rb.

I just installed ruby-gmail via gem. I created a sample program, but I cant make it work. It just hangs up, when Gmal class is used. "uninitialized constant Gmail (NameError)"

The code is:
require 'rubygems'
require 'gmail'
gmail = Gmail.new(...etc

Platform:
Ubuntu, REE 1.8.6, ruby-gmail 0.0.8

When I try to user 'peek' function I got an exception.
I can't find this method on rdoc documentation, but in github main page this function is present on tutorial.
Does that function still present in code by different name?

Version: 0.2.1

Title is hopefully self-explanatory. When calling Gmail.label with known good label, receive the following stack:

ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)

Thoughts?

I keep getting this error every time I try to send an email:

I'm using the 0.3.1 version of this gem and noticed that searching email under a label no longer works. For example:

after = Date.today - 15
count = gmail.mailbox('Label').count(:after => after, :subject => "Subject X")

This yields the count of ALL emails under the label instead of the number of emails with the search criteria.

Are nested labels provided in the interface?
I tried to use gmail.label("a").label("b"), but an exception is raised.

I get this error when i try to download attachments from any email. I've alredy try ruby 1.9.2 and 1.8.7.

If there is an email without title in the inbox and I do that

emails = g.inbox.emails(:unread)
emails.each do |email|
subject=email.message.subject
end

in subject I don't found an empty string but a string with "From: ....."

hi there i have a problem with I tried to access to attachment file, this is my code

gmail.inbox.emails.each do |email|
  if !email.message.attachments.empty?
    email.attachments[0].save_to_file("~/")
  end
end

and this is the error that it throws

I realize this gem isn't actively developed at the moment, so this note is here as much for the maintainers as it is a reminder for myself.

It'd be nice to have the gem work without side effects by default

ie gmail.peek = true as a default setting.

If I get a chance to create a PR while working on my my own task, I'll do so.

Thanks for keeping an eye on this gem 👍 It's super helpful!

This is a wonderful gem. Thank you for your hard work!

I keep getting this error from certain emails:

IETF PARSING FAIL! (''A'' structure)

Shouldn't ruby-gmail be able to parse any email that Gmail can parse?

Hi -- great work so far -- but I can't see attachments -- here's my program:

require 'rubygems'
require 'gmail'
gmail = Gmail.new('xxxxx', 'xxxxx') do |g|
  unread_count=g.inbox.count(:unread)
  print "There are " + g.inbox.count.to_s + " emails (" + unread_count.to_s + " unread).\n"
  counter=1
  g.inbox.emails(:unread).each do |msg|
  print "#{counter}/#{msg.message.from}/#{msg.message.subject}/#{msg.message.attachments.length.to_s} attachment(s)\n"
    msg.message.save_attachments_to("/home/mmcgrath/mail-puller/output")
    counter+=1
  end
end

There are four unread messages in the Inbox, three of which have attachments -- the script sees them correctly (i.e. Subject, From etc) but in all cases the attachments array is empty. Any thoughts?

Current gemspec does not say ruby-gmail depends on tmail, though it is used in lib/mime/entity_tmail.rb. This is problematic when an user doesn't have tmail in his/her environment yet. Something like
gem.add_dependency 'tmail'
should be added to the Rakefile.

I suspect this has to do with your problem in README: "May not correctly read malformed MIME messages. This could possibly be corrected by having IMAP parse the MIME structure"

Thanks for the great work!
