Thanks everyone who tried to help me to parse incoming email from an

exchange server:

Now, I am getting following error; I am not sure where I am doing

wrong. I appreciate any help how to resolve this error and extract
emails from an exchange server.

First I tried:

>>>mailserver = 'EXCHVS01.my.or g'
>>>mailuser = 'myname'
>>>mailpasswd = 'mypass'
>>>mailserver = poplib.POP3(mai lserver)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python24\li b\poplib.py", line 96, in __init__
raise socket.error, msg
error: (10061, 'Connection refused')



The other way:

>>>mailserver = 'pop.EXCHVS01.a d.my.org'
>>>mailuser = 'myname@my.org'
>>>mailpasswd = 'mypass'
>>>mailserver = poplib.POP3(mai lserver)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python24\li b\poplib.py", line 84, in __init__
for res in socket.getaddri nfo(self.host, self.port, 0,

socket.SOCK_STR EAM):

gaierror: (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')

Haven't used poplib myself, but was intrigued.

Did you see this:

http://www.python.org/doc/lib/pop3-example.html

To me it looks like you are not setting the user/password.

So, maybe something like:

M = poplib.POP3(mai lserver)
M.user(mailuser )
M.pass_(mailpas swd)
.....

but I am getting error before that point and could not go to the user
account or pass.

M = poplib.POP3(mai lserver)
