Hello,

I use poplib to read pop3 mail.
I would then like to parse the mail message into <class 'email.message.Message'>
But this fails, the line --> print ('keys in message:',totalMsg.keys())
has no keys in it.

Thanks for your help.

My program:

import poplib
import email
import email.parser
import email.policy

pop3server="servername"
pop3user="username"
pop3pass="password"


#connect
server=poplib.POP3(pop3server)

#login
server.user(pop3user)
server.pass_(pop3pass)
resp, items, octets = server.list()

numMsg = len(items)

parser=email.parser.BytesFeedParser()

if numMsg > 0:
    print ('You have {} new messages'.format(numMsg))
    #get first message
    header,mailmesg,octets=server.retr(1)

    #convert message to email.message.Message
    for j in mailmesg:
        parser.feed(j)

else:
    print ('No new mail')
    exit()

totalMsg=parser.close()

#print the message
print (totalMsg)
print ('keys in message:',totalMsg.keys())
