Hi Vivek,

If you're using a newer version of Node that supports ES6+ features, you might want to try my fork (Which will eventually get merged as per the open pull request) - that one does not seem to have this problem, though it buffers attachments rather than streaming them so it might use lots of RAM for large files.

See here:

Thanks @MatejMalicek it's working fine now, but the issue is in attachments .msg (Outlook mail) file extension is not downloading also its not give the filename also in attachments array. So can you help me for that file extension download.

Hi Vivek,

Sorry for the late reply - I've been quite busy over the last week.

So that I can investigate the issue, could you please confirm the following:

• Which version of the package you installed (should be in the package.json file).
• Which version of NodeJS you're using.
• A copy/paste of the console log, as well as a snippet showing the attachment array with no filename, but with personal/confidential information such as email addresses, names, crypto signatures, etc. taken out (I don't need this for debugging and it should never be publicly posted anyway - really I just need to see the output you're getting).
• Confirm if the problem only applies to .msg attachments, or other attachment types as well.
• Confirm the version of NodeJS and the OS, kernel version, build no, etc.
• Steps to reproduce.

It may well be a bug in the mail parser that's treating the .msg files as actual emails, rather than attachments, but it'll be hard for me to isolate the problem without more information. Info about the environment you're using (i.e. Node version, OS, etc.) and steps to reproduce are particularly important, as if you provide this, I might be able to reproduce the problem myself & identify the root cause without needing your logs, etc.

Once you provide this info, I'll have a look at it when I get the time. :-)

Cheers,

Matej

Add this option:
mailParserOptions: { stream: true }

(Suggest adding this into README.md)

@VivekPowar I guess @azaitw answered your question. Let me know otherwise, we can dig deeper into the issue.
