getting an attachment from a Outlook mail in linux

I would like to get a file attached to an email I receive using Outlook.

I need to run this python script in a Linux Box.

I read about the win32com.client library.

Do you know if it works also for Linux?

If not do you know any alternat开发者_如何转开发ive if there are?

Coincidentally, today I posted an example of retrieving attachments over IMAP here, it may be of some use to you.

Outlook is an email client, it may use one or more of a variety of protocols (MAPI,POP,IMAP) to access your mailbox. Your mail may be stored on the server, or it may be stored on your computer (more likely when using POP).
