[PR] IMAP: Add overwrite option to ImapHook.download_mail_attachments [airflow]
longhuynh5713 opened a new pull request, #67019:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/67019
The current implementation of `download_mail_attachments` in `ImapHook` silently overwrites files if they already exist in the target directory. This can lead to data loss when multiple emails have attachments with the same filename.
This PR adds a configurable `overwrite` parameter (defaulting to `True` for backward compatibility) to `download_mail_attachments`. When set to `False`, the hook will automatically rename files by appending a numeric suffix (e.g., `report (1).csv`) if a collision is detected.
Summary:
- Added `overwrite` parameter to `download_mail_attachments`.
- Implemented `_resolve_non_conflicting_path` helper to handle filename collisions.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for both overwrite and collision-avoidance scenarios.
- Updated the IMAP provider changelog.
closes: #65870

Congratulations on your first Pull Request and welcome to the Apache Airflow community! If you have any issues or are unsure about any anything please check our [Contributors' Guide](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/README.rst)
Here are some useful points:
- Pay attention to the quality of your code (ruff, mypy and type annotations). Our [prek-hooks]( https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/08_static_code_checks.rst#prerequisites-for-prek-hooks) will help you with that.
- In case of a new feature add useful documentation (in docstrings or in `docs/` directory). Adding a new operator? Check this short [guide](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow-core/docs/howto/custom-operator.rst) Consider adding an example Dag that shows how users should use it.
- Consider using [Breeze environment](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/breeze/doc/README.rst) for testing locally, it's a heavy docker but it ships with a working Airflow and a lot of integrations.
