I want to manage my email with python

[timfox123]

my question here

We have a system monitoring tool that is out of control  and sends mails on down system.  

It is a shared system and the other group will decommission systems and does not feel they need to notify us as we are "just contractors" 

In a linux shell prompt I would like to be able to view all the emails for a time I can set.
example:  all emails last 3 days
                all emails last 24 hours 

Also here is the kicker, I would like to sort them by least number of emails.  If I am oncall on the weekend and we have emails on a server
that has been down for a month, I really do not need to work on it on easter sunday ..... 

This would all run in a redhat bash shell

I am compelled to ask, what have you tried so far?

Although this seems more of a management issue, your post is still a bit unclear.  Are you looking to write a bash script solution or a Python solution?  If as the title of your thread suggests, you may want to check the mailbox library and the email library.
