There is no explicit move command for IMAP. You will have to execute a COPY followed by a STORE (with suitable flag to indicate deletion) and finally expunge. The example given below worked for moving messages from one label to the other. You’ll probably want to add more error checking though. import imaplib, getpass, re … Read more
No… imaplib is a pretty good library, it’s imap that’s so unintelligible. You may wish to check that t == ‘OK’, but data[0][1] works as expected for as much as I’ve used it. Here’s a quick example I use to extract signed certificates I’ve received by email, not bomb-proof, but suits my purposes: import getpass, … Read more
Something like this will do the trick. conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(imap_server) try: (retcode, capabilities) = conn.login(imap_user, imap_password) except: print sys.exc_info()[1] sys.exit(1) conn.select(readonly=1) # Select inbox or default namespace (retcode, messages) = conn.search(None, ‘(UNSEEN)’) if retcode == ‘OK’: for num in messages[0].split(‘ ‘): print ‘Processing :’, message typ, data = conn.fetch(num,'(RFC822)’) msg = email.message_from_string(data[0][1]) typ, data = … Read more
In a nutshell, an equal sign at the end of a line indicates a soft line break. An equal sign followed by two hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) encodes a single octet (byte). This encoding scheme is called “quoted printable” and is defined in section 6.7 of RFC 2045. See items (1) and (5), in particular. … Read more
You are trying to decode an object that is already decoded. You have a str, there is no need to decode from UTF-8 anymore. Simply drop the .decode(‘utf-8’) part: header_data = data[1][0][1] As for your fetch() call, you are explicitly asking for just the first message. Use a range if you want to retrieve more … Read more
