Full Version: Email Checker with IMAPlib
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
My current projects are to make an email sender and email checker. My email sender works fine (using SMTPlib), but I can't find a way to make IMAPlib work so it scrapes my Gmail account. This is as far as I was able to get to:

import imaplib

mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login('myemail', 'mypassword')
mail.list()
mail.select('inbox')
print(mail.list())
I am aiming for something like this youtube.com/watch?v=4rxNqIRpz1U I want it to print all the emails but so far, with the code above, I've only succeeded in making it print the amount of emails in the inbox.

How should I go about making this? Any other modules I should be using? Thanks.
