A simple python package to extract sender emails from a list of eml files.

Recently, I found myself in a situation where I have to prepare a spreadsheet for all the emails in the inbox of the company Gmail account. I was provided with eml files of inbox emails. Instead of manually extracting thousands of emails, I have decided to write a python script to automate the process.

|-- inputs/
|   |-- /emails (input eml files)
|   |-- /restricted_emails.csv (emails to be excluded)
|-- outputs/
|   |-- emails.csv (output csv file)
|-- src/
|   |-- extractor/
|   |   |-- __init__.py
|   |   |-- extractor.py
|   |   |-- util.py
|   |-- main.py

1. Clone the repository by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/hifarhanali/zoho-email-extractor.git
   

2. Change directory to the root directory of the repository:

   cd zoho-email-extractor
   

3. Install the dependencies by running the following command:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Run the main.py file by running the following command:

   python src/main.py -i path/to/eml_files -o path/to/output_dir --output_filename name_of_output_file --restricted_emails_path path/to/restricted_emails.csv
   

   e.g.

   python src/main.py -i ./inputs/emails -o ./outputs/ --output_filename emails.csv --restricted_emails_path ./inputs/restricted_emails.csv
