Python, IMAP and GMail. Mark messages as SEEN

I have a python script that has to fetch unseen messages, process it, and mark as seen (or read)

I do this after login in:

    typ, data = self.serve         


        

Answer 1

import imaplib
obj = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', '993')
obj.login('user', 'password')
obj.select('Inbox')   <--- it will select inbox
typ ,data = obj.search(None,'UnSeen')
obj.store(data[0].replace(' ',','),'+FLAGS','\Seen')
