Saving attachment fail

[Evgeny-]

If you are using {streamAttachments: true} for the mailParserOptions, then you will get the stream of the attachment without file buffer. So then you cannot save the attachment with fs.writeStream, and must use attachment.stream.pipe(filename) as in the mailparser documentation (not work for me, actually). So may be solution is do not use {streamAttachments: true} in documentation.

Hi Gaurav,

I have using options like this:

{
   ...,
   mailParserOptions: {streamAttachments: false}, 
   attachments: false, 
   attachmentOptions: { directory: "attachments/" } 
}

And then saving attachments directly:

mail.on("mail", function(mail, seqno, attributes) {
   if(mail.attachments && mail.attachments.length) {
      var attach = mail.attachments[0];
      fs.writeFile('file', attach.content, function(err) {
        // callback
      });
   }
});

I hope this will help
