Scan web-based email for images

hi, here is my review on your [login to view URL] you for your detailed requirements. 1) Given credentials to web-based email account (gmail for instance) the application can parse out all images (.jpg, .gif, .bmp) Ok so by parsing you mean the program has to search for all the emails containing attachments and check if they are images(have [login to view URL],.gif or .bmp) 2) The images would be stored in a Desktop folder The images found will be stored in a desktop folder( sounds like a desktop application). 3) The software would have some logic to allow the user to "note/comment" each image (perhaps save the note in a file/database). Will be don exactly as you mentioned(store the tag in db along with file name). 4) The software would have some logic to find images that it has already seen before (and flag them appropriately) This is interesting, one simple way to check for seen images is by storing the images names and checking if an image is in the db with the same [login to view URL] names can be changed. so it should also match the image size to be more [login to view URL] the image size and name is same they are probably [login to view URL] there is no guarantee A more complex approach would be to store 5-10 random pixels of every image and when a new image comes, its 5-10 pixels are compared to the existing 5-10 pixels of the database to see if they have already been seen. Rest of the details can be discussed on message. or on skype: ID: pureali . Thanks

Hi, I can use python to do this. I can develop a web based GUI for this program or use other GUI libraries for python depending on the design you desire. I will use imap to read the messages and opencv to detect text areas in the images. Please contact me if you're interested.

Hello. I am interested in your project. I have required skills and experience in Java development. I can use Java Mail API to parse the messages from given email account and get attached images. I have completed several projects on this freelancer site and on others resources. All of them were successful. You can check out my portfolio and projects feedback if you like. I am able to implement 1, 2,3 and 6 requirements and not sure about 4 and 5. Need to think how it should work. Fill free to contact me so we can discuss any details. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, I can do the first three task easily. I will use C# to develop the software. I can write the parser for only gmail or any other client that has pop3 enabled. For the next three items, I will have to investigate if I can do it. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

I have experience working with the JavaMail API, and developed a simple Android app which performed tasks and alterations to existing inbox entries. Requirements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 would be easy to implement: 1 would be a simple loop through all of the messages available in the inbox. Assuming standard MIME formatting, the emails containing image-based content would appear with the img tag, as MIME resolves to valid HTML. Each img tag would be parsed for the link, the image would be downloaded and saved. 2 would be easy; all images from 1 would simply be downloaded to a user-defined folder placed by default on the Desktop. 3 would also be easy, the program would implement a process for browsing through the images and writing a comment in a popup box, which could be saved to a custom flat-file database format for portability. 4. When images are downloaded, their cryptographic hashes would be saved in the database described above, and would act as a fingerprint. All images would be checked against the fingerprints database, and any duplications would be noted, either through a user alert, generated report, or note. 6 A report detailing statistics about the queried account including messages without body or subject text, how many contain images, etc. would be trivial; while looping through emails for #1, statistics regarding each email would be tallied and a report would be generated once the loop finishes. 5 could be done moderately well with metadata parsing.

Dear Sir, I read your demands thoroughly and its my pleasure to be capable enough to do your task with guaranteed solution and as per your demands with short time. I have 8 years of experience in designing and developing sites and applications for local as well as foreigners clients. Waiting for kind consideration from your side and I will show you my 100%. Thanking you in anticipation. Jawad Ahmad
