I'm semi-new to Linux and ubuntu. I'm setting up a Linux server for a small office that doubles as a network drive. I'm trying to find a software that will take all email attachments and save them to a folder for use on the network drive. So far I'm using mutt, but I don't think I have the option to save it as a pdf. Would anybody happen to know how to do this? I'm using lubuntu due to it having a lightweight interface.

  • Are you running your own mail server (postfix?) or are you connecting to a server such as gmail.com? – Alexis Wilke Feb 09 '21 at 22:46
  • gmail.com, though only because I don't quite understand postfix. Does that work even if they aren't on the same network? – Giodude Feb 10 '21 at 00:42
  • So... you use something like Thunderbird to read your emails, correct? I don't know how you could auto-save the attachments from a client. A server would have hooks where you can add a script which does such things. – Alexis Wilke Feb 10 '21 at 01:52
  • I was hoping to use something like mutt as an email client, then to have it auto-download all emails that got sent to it. I would like to make a server, but how much would that cost to be able to email it anywhere? – Giodude Feb 10 '21 at 03:58
  • Welcome to AskUbuntu, I am not sure the detail, but imagemagick convert lowrite use these commands, you get some PDFs from pictures and documents. I don't know where they are stored and am reluctant to write a practical script but yeah it's possible. https://askubuntu.com/questions/246647/convert-a-directory-of-jpeg-files-to-a-single-pdf-document – Sadaharu Wakisaka Feb 11 '21 at 06:14
