I have a website that I am currently developing. I have used a ContactMe form on the site to receive emails from whoever fills the form in. The emails are sent to a completely separate email account that will only receive ContactMe emails and won't be used for anything else. I used this because I am terrible when it comes to PHP and don't fully understand how it works but I want to use my Raspberry Pi to print out every email that is sent to that email account the moment the email goes through. Is there a simple solution to doing this? Maybe even in Python that wouldn't be insane.
Cheers!

Re: Printing Emails?
Hi,
Is not clear for me.
You contact form send email to some account? (Hosted on some ISP).
Or you contact form run on raspberry pi on you office?
But, printing email not make sense for me.
Having printer configured and working (see about cups).
From email, need to use fetchmail to get email from server, and promail to process and print email.
I not use both for long time. Need to write some script to process email.
If contact form run on rpi, side of printer.
Using any server side processing (php, phyton, etc), after form submit are validated, just pipe formated text do lp tools.
I think, I done similar task a decades ago using php.
If you need code example, we need coins.

Re: Printing Emails?
In order to use a printer with the Pi. You need one that has Arm drivers available for Cups. You can look over at http://www.openprinting.org/drivers for which ones may be.
