I want to back up my emails from a non-premium account I have with Hushmail, so I can delete the account. Initially tried to use Thunderbird, however, POP & IMAP is a "premium" feature. Thought I could modify the code from a related question here, but still requires IMAP. I thought then that perhaps I could use something to gather the content loop-wise from the "show all headers" URL for each individual email without using IMAP. The layout is like this:

https://www.hushmail.com/preview/hushmail/<<<USERNAME>>>@hush.ai/rawmessage/Inbox/<<<EMAIL NUMBER>>>?raw=1

Here <<<USERNAME>>> is the username, i.e. local-part, and <<<EMAIL NUMBER>>> is the number of the email. I have the first and last numbers, call them first and last, say. The above link, once I'm logged in to my Hushmail account through the browser, can be used to gather all emails, however, there are gaps in the <<<EMAIL NUMBER>>>'s, like 100, 102, 216, so a call to

https://www.hushmail.com/preview/hushmail/<<<USERNAME>>>@hush.ai/rawmessage/Inbox/101?raw=1
                                                                      EMAIL NUMBER^^^

would return a page with the message "An unexpected error has occurred", which could be used to our advantage.

Try using WATIR-WEBDRIVER (ruby)

require 'watir-webdriver'

    b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome
    b.goto 'https://www.hushmail.com/preview/hushmail/'

    b.text_field(:name => 'hush_username').set ‘me@hushmail.com’
    b.text_field(:name => 'hush_passphrase').set ‘me_password’
    b.button(:value => 'Sign in').click
    $i = 0  

    while $i <= 5000 do
            sleep 1.5
            b.goto 'https://www.hushmail.com/preview/hushmail/me@hushmail.com/rawmessage/Inbox/' + $i.to_s + '?raw=1'
            if (b.html =~ /eml file/)
                    File.open('hushmail_' + $i.to_s, 'w') do |f|
                            f.puts b.html
                    end
            end
            $i += 1
    end
