Answer 1

You may use imap_tools package: https://pypi.org/project/imap-tools/

from imap_tools import MailBox, AND
with MailBox('imap.mail.com').login('test@mail.com', 'password', 'INBOX') as mailbox:
    # get unseen emails from INBOX folder
    for msg in mailbox.fetch(AND(seen=False)):
        print(msg.headers)
