Thanks for feedback. That assumes I am downloading/syncing my emails from IMAP to local which I'm trying to avoid. But there might be no way around it; don't know yet.

This runs on the server where the mail messages are stored, not necessarily locally, but assumes you have shell access there. I tested om my own mailserver with a smallish IMAP folder with a couple of hundred messages.

@stef204: hadn't read your original question carefully enough, just recognised it as something I had done before, I thought...

I'm not sure I can have shell access to the server (I guess you mean via ssh); it's a on a shared hosted server. I do have admin rights so might be possible. I'll look into it. And let's see if can I can get additional feedback here as well. Tx.

This code snipped did not successfully strip any of the attachments out of the email I used for testing unfortunately.
