imap - how to delete messages
How can I delete messages from the mail box? I am using this code, but the letters are not removed. Sorry for my English.

This is the process workflow I use to either delete or keep emails in Outlook Inbox folder. Managing emails is a constant maintenance issue. Sometimes I have thousands of emails that I need to delete. I have created two python programs which will enable me to efficiently manage this process workflow.
First - I write a python program to create a text and CSV file. The text and CSV file contains two parts.
- A count for each unique email.
- The unique sender email address.
Second - I edit the text or CSV file to create two text files.
- EmailsToKeep.txt. A. Emails I want to keep with no delete condition. B. I will manage these emails manually.
- EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt. A. Emails I want to keep or delete base on the date value of variable EndDy. I will append these two text files as needed.
Third - I write a second python program to delete or keep emails based on four conditions.
Delete emails that have no email address.
Keep emails that are in the EmailsToKeep.txt text file.
Keep or delete emails that are in the EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt text file. A. Keep emails if date is newer than the date value of variable EndDy. B. Delete emails if date is older than the date value of variable EndDy.
Delete emails that were not included in any of the EmailsToKeep.txt or EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt text files. Video link: https://youtu.be/bTgb3tO5r-8
