Getting n most recent emails using IMAP and Python

Question

I\'m looking to return the n (most likely 10) most recent emails from an email accounts inbox using IMAP.

So far I\'ve cobbled together:

import imapl         


        

Answer 1

# get recent one email
from imap_tools import MailBox
with MailBox('imap.mail.com').login('test@mail.com', 'password', 'INBOX') as mailbox:
   for message in mailbox.fetch(limit=1, reverse=True):
       print(msg.date_str, msg.subject)
