Automatically process received emails as plain text into a text-file each

0

I am hoping to receive data from a webform by email. I need to process this email to extract the data in it and process it further.

I am currently using Thunderbird to receive the email and would like to find a way of exporting the data from the specific emails to a file in an existing folder. The output from right clicking on the email and saving as .eml file is OK, but I would like to find a method for doing this automatically.

Did you search for a fitting Add on Already? – rubo77 – 2014-10-16T12:17:02.673

@rubo77 yes without success. Not saying there isn't one, just that I haven't been able to find it. – Graham Hopper – 2014-10-19T21:18:02.853

Maybe you can use the filters in Thunderbird to sort these emails into a local folder? – rubo77 – 2014-10-20T00:16:53.637

FiltaQuilla add-on offers (excerpted from filter actions provided): Save Message as File

The location of the file is selectable in the filter definition. The file is given an automatic name based on the subject. If a file of that name already exists in the folder, then a unique name is generated by adding a number to the end of the file name.
