IBM Stats subscription topic always returns Reason 2033: FAILED: MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE

I am attempting to port some old java code to python.
I am using pymqi to connect to a queue manager and query for all messageflow statistics topics using the topic string: $SYS/Broker/+/StatisticsAccounting/Archive/#
When using the existing java program messages are read from the topic without issue.
When using the new python code it is able to connect and query the topic without issue but always gives the message
Reason 2033: FAILED: MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE
Stats messages are published by the broker for each messageflow every 10 minutes, and I have left the new code running for over 30minutes, never having received a message.
I've also tried setting
get_opts['WaitInterval'] = pymqi.CMQC.MQWI_UNLIMITED
and sitting around for 20minutes rather than using a loop, but no luck.
Is there any IIB server config that might be impacting the messages that I am able to see, or are there other options I should be using within the client?

How do I send a string + variable as sms using python?

I need to send a message when my program is done running, but I also want to include variables such as how long the program took to run in the text.
Here is my code for the texting:
import smtplib
carriers = {
'att': '#mms.att.net',
'tmobile': ' #tmomail.net',
'verizon': '#vtext.com',
'sprint': '#page.nextel.com'
}
def send(message):
# Replace the number with your own, or consider using an argument\dict for multiple people.
to_number = 'xxxxxxxxxx{}'.format(carriers['verizon'])
auth = ('xxxxx', 'xxxx')
# Establish a secure session with gmail's outgoing SMTP server using your gmail account
server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
server.starttls()
server.login(auth[0], auth[1])
# Send text message through SMS gateway of destination number
server.sendmail(auth[0], to_number, message)
Obviously, I replaced my info with the xxx.
Now, to send my text I'm calling the function using:
found = 'The program is done!'
timetook = "Time took: %s (HOUR:MIN:SEC)" % timedelta(seconds=round(elapsed_time_secs))
send(found)
send(timetook)
It just sends blank texts for the timetook, but the program is done message works fine. How do I send the timetook?

The problem is that you aren't following the rules for SMTP. Below is the equivalent solution I wrote for my own use many years ago.

TO_ADDR = PHONE_NUMBER + '#vtext.com'
# Allow only three SMS messages per minute and five per hour.
short_term_rate_limiter = rate_limiting.SimpleRateLimiter(3, 60)

If for each thread i'm creating a new imap session all works fine, but GMAIL has a limit for simultaneous connection through imap. And user may have more than 15 companies for parsing. How to setup one global mail for user for all his actions ?

It does not make really sense to use the same IMAP connection for several conversations because there is one single socket connection and one single server side context. If one thread asks mailbox1 and a second asks for mailbox2, the server will select successively the 2 mailboxes and will stay in last one.
Not speaking of race conditions if two threads simultaneously read from same socket: each will only get quasi random partial data while the other part will be read by the other thread. I am sorry but this is not possible.

Python thread blocks after getting from Queue

I have a list of emails i want to validate from same domain. Firstly, I check if the domain allows verfication or is a catchall (accepts all email user as valid). E.g Assuming [a#domain.com, b#domain.com] is the list, I will check if foo-fake#domain.com would be valid, if it is return from function.
If not use multiple thread to verify all emails in list - if all fail return the last item. If one is valid and other threads are running stop them and return the valid one.

Undoing "marked as read" status of emails fetched with imaplib

I wrote a python script to fetch all of my gmail. I have hundreds of thousands of old emails, of which about 10,000 were unread.
After successfully fetching all of my email, I find that gmail has marked all the fetched emails as "read". This is disastrous for me since I need to check all unread emails only.
How can I recover the information about which emails were unread? I dumped each mail object into files, the core of my code is shown below:
m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")
m.login(user,pwd)
m.select("[Gmail]/All Mail")
resp, items = m.uid('search', None, 'ALL')
uids = items[0].split()
for uid in uids:
resp, data = m.uid('fetch', uid, "(RFC822)")
email_body = data[0][1]
mail = email.message_from_string(email_body)
dumbobj(uid, mail)
I am hoping there is either an option to undo this in gmail, or a member inside the stored mail objects reflecting the seen-state information.
For anyone looking to prevent this headache, consider this answer here. This does not work for me, however, since the damage has already been done.
Edit:
I have written the following function to recursively "grep" all strings in an object, and applied it to a dumped email object using the following keywords:
regex = "(?i)((marked)|(seen)|(unread)|(read)|(flag)|(delivered)|(status)|(sate))"
So far, no results (only an unrelated "Delivered-To"). Which other keywords could I try?
def grep_object (obj, regex , cycle = set(), matched = set()):
import re
if id(obj) in cycle:
return
cycle.update([id(obj)])
if isinstance(obj, basestring):
if re.search(regex, obj):
matched.update([obj])
def grep_dict (adict ):
try:
[ [ grep_object(a, regex, cycle, matched ) for a in ab ] for ab in adict.iteritems() ]
except:pass
grep_dict(obj)
try:grep_dict(obj.__dict__)
except:pass
try:
[ grep_object(elm, regex, cycle, matched ) for elm in obj ]
except: pass
return matched
grep_object(mail_object, regex)

I'm having a similar problem (not with gmail), and the biggest problem for me was to make a reproducible test case; and I finally managed to produce one (see below).
In terms of the Seen flag, I now gather it goes like this:
If a message is new/unseen, IMAP fetch for \Seen flag will return empty (i.e. it will not be present, as related to the email message).
If you do IMAP select on a mailbox (INBOX), you get a "flag" UNSEEN which contains a list of ids (or uids) of emails in that folder that are new (do not have the \Seen flag)
In my test case, if you fetch say headers for a message with BODY.PEEK, then \Seen on a message is not set; if you fetch them with BODY, then \Seen is set
In my test case, also fetching (RFC822) doesn't set \Seen (unlike your case with Gmail)
In the test case, I try to do pprint.pprint(inspect.getmembers(mail)) (in lieu of your dumpobj(uid, mail)) - but only after I'm certain \Seen has been set. The output I get is posted in mail_object_inspect.txt - and as far as I can see, there is no mention of 'new/read/seen' etc. in none of the readable fields; furthermore mail.as_string() prints:
'From: jesse#example.com\nTo: user#example.com\nSubject: This is a test message!\n\nHello. I am executive assistant to the director of\nBear Stearns, a failed investment Bank. I have\naccess to USD6,000,000. ...\n'
Even worse, there is no mention of "fields" anywhere in the imaplib code (below filenames are printed if they do not contain case-insensitive "field" anywhere):
$ grep -L -i field /usr/lib/python{2.7,3.2}/imaplib.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py
/usr/lib/python3.2/imaplib.py
... so I guess that information was not saved with your dumps.
Here is a bit on reconstructing the test case. The hardest was to find a small IMAP server, that can be quickly ran with some arbitrary users and emails, but without having to install a ton of stuff on your system. Finally I found one: trivial-server.pl, the example file of Perl's Net::IMAP::Server; tested on Ubuntu 11.04.
The test case is pasted in this gist, with two files (with many comments) that I'll try to post abridged:
trivial-serverB.pl - Perl (v5.10.1) Net::IMAP::Server server (has a terminal output paste at end of file with a telnet client session)
testimap.py - Python 2.7/3.2 imaplib
client (has a terminal output paste at end of file, of itself operating with the server)
trivial-serverB.pl
First, make sure you have Net::IMAP::Server - note, it has many dependencies, so the below command may take a while to install:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::IMAP::Server'
Then, in the directory where you got trivial-serverB.pl, create a subdirectory with SSL certificates:
mkdir certs
openssl req \
-x509 -nodes -days 365 \
-subj '/C=US/ST=Oregon/L=Portland/CN=localhost' \
-newkey rsa:1024 -keyout certs/server-key.pem -out certs/server-cert.pem
Finally run the server with administrative properties:
sudo perl trivial-serverB.pl
Note that the trivial-serverB.pl has a hack which will let a client to connect without SSL. Here is trivial-serverB.pl:

python testimap.py
