in reply to Reading e-mail attachment from a webmail

It depends on what access you have: I use Net::POP3 quite successfully to process mail programmatically. If the mailboxes aren't fronted by a POP3 server, it would be of no use, though.

      It's always a good idea to include important details right from the start... :)

      but can't extract the attachment file

      Same here. What exactly is the problem? Is the attachment missing entirely? Are you unable to decode its transfer encoding (e.g. base64), etc.? Could you provide some complete (but short) raw example message, and possibly also some actual code, so we have an idea of what you've tried so far, and where you're stuck?

        I' don't know if the webmail use POP3 orIMAP .I feel POP3
        I haven't seen on Net::POP3 documentation the way(how to) to extract the attachment file.
        I still haven't write any code lines.I'm looking the way to extract the attachment file from the webmail.
