imaplib

So I tried the code below and it downloads attachments alright. The problem is on my gmail account, there are emails that were sent using MMS mail through mobile phone. Email attachments from mobile network A can be downloaded by the script below , while those that came from mobile network B fails. Here are the links to the full email details : http://pastie.org/private/ektv7yfa2xwdqzu77ys5a (From Mobile Network A, works) http://pastie.org/private/cljaaad4tz7v5jra20l0q (From Mobile Network B, fails) Grabbed from : How can I download all emails with attachments from Gmail? import email, getpass

I am trying to write a program that monitors an IMAP mailbox and automatically copies every new incoming message into an "Archive" folder. I'm using imaplib2 which implements the IDLE command. Here's my basic program: M = imaplib2.IMAP4("mail.me.com") M.login(username,password) lst = M.list() assert lst[0]=='OK' for mbx in lst[1]: print "Mailboxes:",mbx def process(m): print "m=",m res = M.recent() print res M.select('INBOX') M.examine(mailbox='INBOX',callback=process) while True: print "Calling idle..." M.idle() print "back from idle" M.close() M.logout() It prints the mailboxes properly and

I have a script which exports all the email in Gmail as text files. It works fine with this line where you select the folder: mail.select("inbox") But I am not sure what the name is for Gmail's archive, where all of the email is stored. I've tried archive and all mail and stuff, but no luck. Anyone know the correct name? Solved it. It is [Gmail]/All Mail or, if you are a Gmail UK user like me, it may be [Google Mail]/All Mail , because Gmail used to be called Google Mail in the UK due to trademark issues. If you're doing this for general use, I'd recommend testing to see if [Gmail]/All Mail

This question already has answers here : Fetch an email with imaplib but do not mark it as SEEN (4 answers) Closed 3 years ago . I inadvertently marked all the messages in my inbox as read with this python statement: status, data = conn.uid('fetch', fetch_uids, '(RFC822)') But I was able to walk through all the parts of the message with the following set of statments: email_message = email.message_from_string(data[0][1]) for part in email_message.walk(): print '\n' print 'Content-Type:',part.get_content_type() print 'Main Content:',part.get_content_maintype() print 'Sub Content:',part.get

As the error message below states, I cannot log in because I'm in state LOGOUT and not in state NONAUTH. How do I get from LOGOUT to NONAUTH? Example below (obviously the login credentials are faked below) Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug 1 2012, 05:14:39) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import imaplib >>> imap_server = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com",993) >>> imap_server.login('something@myserver.com', 'mypassword') ('OK', ['something@myserver.com Joe Smith authenticated (Success)']) >>> imap_server.logout() ('BYE', ['LOGOUT

I am currently working on a project in Python that would be connecting to an email server and looking at the latest email to tell the user if there is an attachment or a link embedded in the email. I have the former working but not the latter. I may be having troubles with the if any() part of my script. As it seems to half work when I test. Although it may be due to how the email string is printed out? Here is my code for connecting to gmail and then looking for the link. import imaplib import email word = ["http://", "https://", "www.", ".com", ".co.uk"] #list of strings to search for in

I'm using imaplib2 ( docs ) to interact with an IMAP server. I'm using the idle command, with a timeout and a callback. The problem is, I don't see any way of telling if the callback was triggered by the timeout being reached, or if there was a change on the server that I need to check out. I just get ('OK', ['IDLE terminated (Success)']) every time. Here's the debug output for both cases: Timedout: 15:43.94 MainThread server IDLE started, timeout in 5.00 secs 15:48.94 imap.gmail.com handler server IDLE timedout 15:48.94 imap.gmail.com handler server IDLE finished 15:48.94 imap.gmail.com
