Net::IMAP::Hairy
The Ruby Net::IMAP module has a bit of a warty interface, but it does work. It could do with a much nicer interface (perhaps a Net::IMAP::Simple equivalent?) and better docs. Here is a working example:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'net/imap'
require_gem 'rmail'
imap = Net::IMAP.new('host')
imap.login('username', 'password')
imap.examine('inbox')
imap.search(["SUBJECT", "Some text to look for", "SINCE", "11-Sep-2005"]).each do |message_id|
message = RMail::Parser.read(imap.fetch(message_id, ["BODY[]“])[0].attr['BODY[]‘])
puts message.header.subject
end
Not too difficult once you work out what you need to be doing.

begin_ = Time.now
require ‘net/imap’
if !ARGV[4]
puts “USAGE: ruby imapcheck.rb [server] […
