As part of my job responsibilities, I have to open ~55 emails in each day and save the attachments to a local folder. I am tired of doing that manually in each day and looking for ways to automate this. I have found some suggestions through the web and ChatGPT such as mailR package. However, when I tried to run the following code, it throws an error saying that Error in imapConnect "imapConnect" function not found
# Connect to your email account
conn <- imapConnect(
user = "name.surname@institutionname",
password = "XXX",
hostname = "outlook.office365.com",
ssl = TRUE
)
I appreciate any answer to solve this problem or to offer alternative ways to automate reading the unread emails and saving the attachments to a local folder in R. Thank you for your attention beforehand.
