getimap.py not working

bckq — Fri, 18 May 2012 11:51:07 GMT

I have problem with running getimap.py. I have configured imap.conf properly. getimap.py see that there are 191 mails in the mailbox, but I get those errors.

EndIMAPMessage

line 651 of /opt/splunk/etc/apps/imap/bin/getimap.py
change
cstr.write("ContentType : ", part.get_content_type() + '\n')
into
cstr.write("ContentType : "+ part.get_content_type() + '\n')

I have added some lines to the /opt/splunk/etc/apps/imap/local/imap.conf file like below, because it looked like something is missing:

[IMAP Configuration]
debug = False
deleteWhenDone = True
disabled = 0
fullHeaders = False
includeBody = True
noCache = False
useSSL = True
server = PASTE_HERE
user = PASTE_HERE
password = PASTE_HERE
port = 993
splunkuser = PASTE_HERE
splunkpassword = PASTE_HERE
folders = Inbox
splunkHostPath = https://localhost:8089

@telrock did you ever solve this problem? We are having teh same issue and I tried to amend the python script with your suggestion, however, it did not resolve the issue.
