IMAP: how to move a message from one folder to another

Question

(using the IMAP commands, not with the assistance of any other mail package)

Answer 1

If you have the uid of the email which is going to be moved.

import imaplib

obj = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
obj.login('username', 'password')
obj.select(src_folder_name)
apply_lbl_msg = obj.uid('COPY', msg_uid, desti_folder_name)
if apply_lbl_msg[0] == 'OK':
    mov, data = obj.uid('STORE', msg_uid , '+FLAGS', '(\Deleted)')
    obj.expunge()

Where msg_uid is the uid of the mail.
