Message's `hasAttachments()` returns true but there are no attachments while looping

[Sadnesh]

I was testing to download attachments sent to mail address and while accessing the attachment info using hasAttachments() method, it returns true but while loggin attachmentCount(), it returns 0 and looping over attachments doesn't work as it cannot find attachments. For testing, I have sent the mails to myself, which contains multiple types of attachments but the results are the same. How can I able to resolve it?

Hi @Sadnesh,

Can you share your code so I can see if this issue is reproducible?

[Sadnesh]

First of all thank you for your response and creating this awesome package.
Here is the details to clear things up.

The ImapConnectionService is just a utility for me to connect to my IMAP server dynamically. I do the fetching part in 2 segments, I am idling for new messages, when new message arrives, I just save basic info, one of which is if the mail has attachments or not using $message->hasAttachments(). If it returns true, then a job will go and fetch the attachments in background. Code for which is below:

        $folder = $conn->connect();
        $message = $folder->messages()->withBody()->find($this->email->message_uid);

        if ($message) {
            Log::info($message->attachmentCount());
            foreach ($message->attachments() as $attachment) {
                $path = storage_path('attachments/' . $attachment->filename());
                $attachment->save($path);

                EmailAttachment::query()->create([
                    'filename' => $attachment->filename(),
                    'mime_type' => mime_content_type($path),
                    'storage_path' => $path,
                    'email_id' => $this->email->id
                ]);
            }
        } else {
            Log::warning('No Email attachments found for ' . $this->email->alias->full_email);
        }
        $conn->disconnect();

        Log::info('Email attachments fetching job completed for ' . $this->email->alias->full_email);```


The problem is `$message->hasAttachments()` is returning true and when the job runs,
`$message->attachmentCount()` is empty. And I was wondering if it was error from my side or the package itself.
