Answer 1

Based on an example provided by the module author, I managed to put together some code that fetches the unread messages and then gets the content plus the attachments. Couldn't find a full example of what I needed anywhere; It's far from perfect, I have some trouble dealing with async processes, so it can certainly be improved.

Hope it's of some use to somebody
