imaplib

I want to write a python module that sends data to a draft message in a G-mail account. I have written a script about two weeks ago that worked perfectly using imaplib. A simplified example of my module is below. (I have created a test email address for anyone to test this script on.) import imaplib import time conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', port = 993) conn.login('testpythoncreatedraft@gmail.com', '123456aaa') conn.select('[Gmail]/Drafts') conn.append("[Gmail]/Drafts", '', imaplib.Time2Internaldate(time.time()), "TEST") It utilized the .append function, but today when I run the

I am programming a python applet that watches the unread count of the email boxes for my workplace, and ran into an EOF error when I try to use any imaplib methods after the applet sits idle for about 10 minutes. Everything works fine until the applet has been alive for more than 10 minutes. Here is the relevant code for the imaplib object. conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993) def loginIMAP (imapObj): # Login to Helpdesk Google Apps Email account using encryption imapObj.login(base64.b64decode("usrEncryption"), base64.b64decode("pwdEncrytion")) return(getUnread(imapObj)) def

Update: my code works under python 2.6.5 but not python 3 (I'm using 3.4.1). I'm unable to search for messages in the "All Mail" or "Sent Mail" folders - I get an exception: imaplib.error: SELECT command error: BAD [b'Could not parse command'] my code: import imaplib m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993) m.login("myemail@gmail.com","mypassword") m.select("[Gmail]/All Mail") using m.select("[Gmail]/Sent Mail") doesn't work either. But reading from the inbox works: import imaplib m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993) m.login("myemail@gmail.com","mypassword") m.select("inbox") ... I

I am using Google's Oauth 2.0 to get the user's access_token, but I dont know how to use it with imaplib to access inbox. user303110 Below is the code for IMAP with oauth 2.0 email = 'k@example.com' access_token = 'vF9dft4qmTc2Nvb3RlckBhdHRhdmlzdGEuY29tCg' auth_string = 'user=%s\1auth=Bearer %s\1\1' % (email, access_token) imap_conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com') imap_conn.debug = 4 imap_conn.authenticate('XOAUTH2', lambda x: auth_string) imap_conn.select('INBOX') for more details see the library code . Currently you can use OAuth 1.0 to access Gmail over IMAP and SMTP, but OAuth 2.0 is

so basically i have this script that runs continuously and when a new email arrives in the inbox with specific text in the subject, it grabs information from the email. I have only managed to get it to pull the subject from the email but I cant get it do get the body of the email no matter what I try, I believe the email body is in HTML so i attempted to use BeautifulSoup to parse the body but that doesnt work at all. Please help!!! :( Here is what i have so far: import email import imaplib from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import time import sys username = 'xxx.xxx@xxx.xx' password = 'xxxxxx'
