* You can try following function to get mail attachment

def create_message_attachment(self,msg_str):
        count = 1
        body = ''
        content_id = ''
        for part in msg_str.walk():
            file_name_gl = None
            mptype = part.get_content_maintype()
            file_name_gl = part.get_filename()
            if mptype == "multipart":
                continue
            elif mptype == "text":
                if not file_name_gl: continue
            elif mptype == "image":
                content_id = part.get('Content-ID')
                if not file_name_gl:
                    file_name_gl = 'image_' + str(count) + '.' + part.get_content_subtype()
                    count = count + 1

            body = part.get_payload(decode = True)
            if type(body) <> type(None) :
                body = body.strip()
                if body <> "":
                    body = base64.encodestring(body)
