Read message body of an email using Apache Nifi

Is it possible to retrieve the body content of email, email header details and email attachments in Single step using Apache Nifi.

If so Please help me how to achieve this.

Solution

  • It is not possible in a single step unless you write your own processor or script (using ExecuteScript or InvokeScriptedProcessor). However it is possible in a single flow with something like the following:

    ConsumePOP3 -> ExtractEmailHeaders -> ExtractEmailAttachments -> ...

    At the end of the flow above, you will have one flow file per attachment, each flow file containing the email headers as attributes and the attachment as the content.
