I want to get the last 10 received gmails with python.
Currently I have this code but it only returns a limited number of emails and it manipulates pop3 directly, which makes it unnecessary long.
Source of the code: https://www.code-learner.com/python-use-pop3-to-read-email-example/
import poplib
import smtplib, ssl
def guess_charset(msg):
# get charset from message object.
charset = msg.get_charset()
# if can not get charset
if charset is None:
# get message header content-type value and retrieve the charset from the value.
content_type = msg.get('Content-Type', '').lower()
pos = content_type.find('charset=')
if pos >= 0:
charset = content_type[pos + 8:].strip()
return charset
def decode_str(s):
value, charset = decode_header(s)[0]
if charset:
value = value.decode(charset)
return value
# variable indent_number is used to decide number of indent of each level in the mail multiple bory part.
def print_info(msg, indent_number=0):
if indent_number == 0:
# loop to retrieve from, to, subject from email header.
for header in ['From', 'To', 'Subject']:
# get header value
value = msg.get(header, '')
if value:
# for subject header.
if header=='Subject':
# decode the subject value
value = decode_str(value)
# for from and to header.
else:
# parse email address
hdr, addr = parseaddr(value)
# decode the name value.
name = decode_str(hdr)
value = u'%s <%s>' % (name, addr)
print('%s%s: %s' % (' ' * indent_number, header, value))
# if message has multiple part.
if (msg.is_multipart()):
# get multiple parts from message body.
parts = msg.get_payload()
# loop for each part
for n, part in enumerate(parts):
print('%spart %s' % (' ' * indent_number, n))
print('%s--------------------' % (' ' * indent_number))
# print multiple part information by invoke print_info function recursively.
print_info(part, indent_number + 1)
# if not multiple part.
else:
# get message content mime type
content_type = msg.get_content_type()
# if plain text or html content type.
if content_type=='text/plain' or content_type=='text/html':
# get email content
content = msg.get_payload(decode=True)
# get content string charset
charset = guess_charset(msg)
# decode the content with charset if provided.
if charset:
content = content.decode(charset)
print('%sText: %s' % (' ' * indent_number, content + '...'))
else:
print('%sAttachment: %s' % (' ' * indent_number, content_type))

email = 'yourgmail#gmail.com'
password = 'yourpassword'

# open debug switch to print debug information between client and pop3 server.
server.set_debuglevel(1)
# get pop3 server welcome message.
pop3_server_welcome_msg = server.getwelcome().decode('utf-8')
# print out the pop3 server welcome message.
print(server.getwelcome().decode('utf-8'))
# user account authentication
server.user(email)
server.pass_(password)
# stat() function return email count and occupied disk size
print('Messages: %s. Size: %s' % server.stat())
# list() function return all email list
resp, mails, octets = server.list()
print(mails)
# retrieve the newest email index number
#index = len(mails)
index = 3
# server.retr function can get the contents of the email with index variable value index number.
resp, lines, octets = server.retr(index)
# lines stores each line of the original text of the message
# so that you can get the original text of the entire message use the join function and lines variable.
msg_content = b'\r\n'.join(lines).decode('utf-8')
# now parse out the email object.
from email.parser import Parser
from email.header import decode_header
from email.utils import parseaddr
import poplib
# parse the email content to a message object.
msg = Parser().parsestr(msg_content)
print(len(msg_content))
# get email from, to, subject attribute value.
email_from = msg.get('From')
email_to = msg.get('To')
email_subject = msg.get('Subject')
print('From ' + email_from)
print('To ' + email_to)
print('Subject ' + email_subject)
for part in msg.walk():
if part.get_content_type():
body = part.get_payload(decode=True)
print_info(msg, len(msg))
# delete the email from pop3 server directly by email index.
# server.dele(index)
# close pop3 server connection.
server.quit()
I also tried this code but it didn't work:
import imaplib, email, base64
def fetch_messages(username, password):
messages = []
conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
conn.login(username, password)
conn.select()
typ, data = conn.uid('search', None, 'ALL')
for num in data[0].split():
typ, msg_data = conn.uid('fetch', num, '(RFC822)')
for response_part in msg_data:
if isinstance(response_part, tuple):
messages.append(email.message_from_string(response_part[1]))
typ, response = conn.store(num, '+FLAGS', r'(\Seen)')
return messages
and this also didn't work for me...
import poplib
from email import parser
pop_conn = poplib.POP3_SSL('pop.gmail.com')
pop_conn.user('#gmail.com')
pop_conn.pass_('password')
messages = [pop_conn.retr(i) for i in range(1, len(pop_conn.list()[1]) + 1)]
# Concat message pieces:
messages = ["\n".join(mssg[1]) for mssg in messages]
#Parse message intom an email object:
messages = [parser.Parser().parsestr(mssg) for mssg in messages]
for message in messages:
print(message['subject'])
print(message['body'])
I managed to solve it, the only issue is that it marks as read every unread email, here is the code I used:
import imaplib
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
email = input('Email: ')
password = input('Password: ')
mail.login(email+'#gmail.com', password)
mail.list()
# Out: list of "folders" aka labels in gmail.
mail.select("inbox") # connect to inbox.
result, data = mail.search(None, "ALL")
ids = data[0] # data is a list.
id_list = ids.split() # ids is a space separated string
latest_email_id = id_list[-1] # get the latest
# fetch the email body (RFC822) for the given ID
result, data = mail.fetch(latest_email_id, "(RFC822)")
raw_email = data[0][1] # here's the body, which is raw text of the whole email
# including headers and alternate payloads
import email
email_message = email.message_from_string(str(raw_email))
print (email_message['To'])
print (email.utils.parseaddr(email_message['From'])) # for parsing "Yuji Tomita" <yuji#grovemade.com>
print (email_message.items()) # print all headers
# note that if you want to get text content (body) and the email contains
# multiple payloads (plaintext/ html), you must parse each message separately.
# use something like the following: (taken from a stackoverflow post)
def get_first_text_block(self, email_message_instance):
maintype = email_message_instance.get_content_maintype()
if maintype == 'multipart':
for part in email_message_instance.get_payload():
if part.get_content_maintype() == 'text':
return part.get_payload()
elif maintype == 'text':
return email_message_instance.get_payload()

You should try easyimap lib to get a list of e-mails, I'm not sure if works with pop3.
Code example:
import easyimap
host = 'imap.gmail.com'
user = 'you#example.com'
password = 'secret'
mailbox = 'INBOX.subfolder'
imapper = easyimap.connect(host, user, password, mailbox)
email_quantity = 10
emails_from_your_mailbox = imapper.listids(limit=email_quantity)
imapper.quit()
import email
import imaplib
import os
class FetchEmail():
connection = None
error = None
mail_server="outlook.office365.com"
username="me#domain.com"
password="'Password'"
self.save_attachment(self,msg,download_folder)
def __init__(self, mail_server, username, password):
self.connection = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(mail_server)
self.connection.login(username, password)
self.connection.select(readonly=False) # so we can mark mails as read
def close_connection(self):
"""
Close the connection to the IMAP server
"""
self.connection.close()
def save_attachment(self, msg, download_folder="/tmp"):
"""
Given a message, save its attachments to the specified
download folder (default is /tmp)
return: file path to attachment
"""
att_path = "No attachment found."
for part in msg.walk():
if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart':
continue
if part.get('Content-Disposition') is None:
continue
filename = part.get_filename()
att_path = os.path.join(download_folder, filename)
if not os.path.isfile(att_path):
fp = open(att_path, 'wb')
fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=True))
fp.close()
return att_path
def fetch_unread_messages(self):
"""

"""
emails = []
(result, messages) = self.connection.search(None, 'UnSeen')
if result == "OK":
for message in messages[0].split(' '):
try:
ret, data = self.connection.fetch(message,'(RFC822)')
except:
print ("No new emails to read.")
self.close_connection()
exit()
msg = email.message_from_string(data[0][1])
if isinstance(msg, str) == False:
emails.append(msg)

self.error = "Failed to retreive emails."
return emails
I have the above code currently, and at line 12 it says self is not defined. What could be the reason for this error. I think self is defined below that line in the init function.
Well, just by looking at the code, I can see inconsistent indentation right from the start - this is probably your main problem. Try defining your functions within the FetchEmail class.
Secondly, change the init function to:
def __init__(self, mail_server=mail_server,
username=username,
password=password):
this is effectively just applying default values to the init function.
Lastly, to us the save_attachment function /save_attachment(self, msg, download_folder) within the class, you will either need to call it within the init function or within the top-level of the scipt (outside the class definition)
Within class definition (within init): self.save_attatchment(msg,download_folder)
Within top level: after creating an FetchEmail object using fe = FetchEmail() then you could call the save_attachment function like this: attatchment_path = fe.save_attachment()
This is how I would implement the init:
class FetchEmail():
def __init__(self,
mail_server="outlook.office365.com",
username="rnandipati#jmawireless.com",
password="'RNjma17!'"):
self.error = None
self.connection = None
self.mail_server = mail_server
self.username = username
self.password = password
self.connection = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(mail_server)
self.connection.login(username, password)
self.connection.select(readonly=False) # so we can mark mails as readread
def close_connection(self): ...
just take note, if you do this, just remember to change the reference of all your functions to self.password, self.error etc.
I do not know whether this would work.
Maybe take a look at this. I think it is your best bet.
All the best!
I very new in Python, but i need to build a IMAP handler, i have now build so i can get the mails out, and i can save the attached files right now.
the next step i need to move the message after i have readed it and downloaded the attached items to my computer, i have build a class to handle it and what happen now you can see in my code here.
class IMAPHandler
mailFolder = "INBOX"
mailFolderCopyTo = "INOBX/Parsed"
localPath = "./tmp"
""" Defined server, username and password """
def __init__(self, server, username, password): ...
""" Connect to your IMAP mailbox """
def __login(self): ...
""" Close connection to your IMAP mailbox """
def __close(self): ...
""" Get all mailbox messegt """
def getAll(self):
self.__login()
rv, data = self.mailbox.search(None, 'UNSEEN', '(HEADER FROM "{mail-from}")')
if rv != 'OK':
print("No messages found!")
for num in data[0].split():
rv, data = self.mailbox.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
print(rv)
email_body = data[0][1]
mail = email.message_from_string(email_body)
print "["+mail["From"]+"] :" + mail["Subject"]
print "-"
self.__saveAttachedFiles(mail)
self.__close()
def __saveAttachedFiles(self,mail): ...
after self.__saveAttachedFiles(mail) i need to move the mail-messegt, but i don't know how i do it.
I have trying the most of this day and the resolved are
""" Move mail messegt to parsed folder after its handle """
def __moveMailToParsedFolder(self,num):
mail_uid = num
apply_lbl_msg = self.mailbox.copy(mail_uid, self.mailFolderCopyTo)
if apply_lbl_msg[0] == 'OK':
self.mailbox.store(mail_uid, '+FLAGS', '\Deleted')
self.mailbox.expunge()
Now i only need to know why its only take 50% each time....
I just get the error:
AttributeError: SecondLife instance has no attribute 'sendAMail'
Whats wrong?
(I checked the formating and this is not the error.
I checked the syntax and also not the error.)
What in the script happens is that an url gets open with cookies and i want some information from it.

Works for me: printing out self.sendAMail from within an instance gives
<bound method SecondLife.sendAMail of <__main__.SecondLife instance at 0x101d91e18>>
I think it is a formatting issue, though. If I copy and paste your code and look at the whitespace, I see mixed use of spaces and tabs. In particular:
In [20]: [line for line in d if 'def' in line]
Out[20]:
[' def __init__(self, usernames, password):\n',
' \tdef sendAMail(self, smtp_server, user, password, listener, subject, text):\n',
' def login(self):\n',
' def friends_online(self):\n']
The \t before def sendAMail looks very suspicious. I'm 75% sure the inconsistent whitespace is what's causing the problem. Try running your script using python -tt scriptname.py, which will throw an error about inconsistent tab usage.
I want to be able to move an email in GMail from the inbox to another folder using Python. I am using imaplib and can't figure out how to do it.
There is no explicit move command for IMAP. You will have to execute a COPY followed by a STORE (with suitable flag to indicate deletion) and finally expunge. The example given below worked for moving messages from one label to the other. You'll probably want to add more error checking though.
import imaplib, getpass, re
pattern_uid = re.compile(r'\d+ \(UID (?P<uid>\d+)\)')
def connect(email):
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")
password = getpass.getpass("Enter your password: ")
imap.login(email, password)
return imap
def disconnect(imap):
imap.logout()
def parse_uid(data):
match = pattern_uid.match(data)
return match.group('uid')
if __name__ == '__main__':
imap = connect('<your mail id>')
imap.select(mailbox = '<source folder>', readonly = False)
resp, items = imap.search(None, 'All')
email_ids = items[0].split()
latest_email_id = email_ids[-1] # Assuming that you are moving the latest email.
resp, data = imap.fetch(latest_email_id, "(UID)")
msg_uid = parse_uid(data[0])
result = imap.uid('COPY', msg_uid, '<destination folder>')
if result[0] == 'OK':
mov, data = imap.uid('STORE', msg_uid , '+FLAGS', '(\Deleted)')
imap.expunge()
disconnect(imap)
As for Gmail, based on its api working with labels, the only thing for you to do is adding dest label and deleting src label:
import imaplib
obj = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
obj.login('username', 'password')
obj.select(src_folder_name)
typ, data = obj.uid('STORE', msg_uid, '+X-GM-LABELS', desti_folder_name)
typ, data = obj.uid('STORE', msg_uid, '-X-GM-LABELS', src_folder_name)
I suppose one has a uid of the email which is going to be moved.
import imaplib
obj = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
obj.login('username', 'password')
obj.select(src_folder_name)
apply_lbl_msg = obj.uid('COPY', msg_uid, desti_folder_name)
if apply_lbl_msg[0] == 'OK':
mov, data = obj.uid('STORE', msg_uid , '+FLAGS', '(\Deleted)')
obj.expunge()
None of the previous solutions worked for me. I was unable to delete a message from the selected folder, and unable to remove the label for the folder when the label was the selected folder. Here's what ended up working for me:
import email, getpass, imaplib, os, sys, re
user = "user#example.com"
pwd = "password" #getpass.getpass("Enter your password: ")
m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")
m.login(user,pwd)
from_folder = "Notes"
to_folder = "food"
m.select(from_folder, readonly = False)
response, emailids = imap.search(None, 'All')
assert response == 'OK'
emailids = emailids[0].split()
errors = []
labeled = []
for emailid in emailids:
result = m.fetch(emailid, '(X-GM-MSGID)')
if result[0] != 'OK':
errors.append(emailid)
continue
gm_msgid = re.findall(r"X-GM-MSGID (\d+)", result[1][0])[0]
result = m.store(emailid, '+X-GM-LABELS', to_folder)
if result[0] != 'OK':
errors.append(emailid)
continue
labeled.append(gm_msgid)
m.close()
m.select(to_folder, readonly = False)
errors2 = []
for gm_msgid in labeled:
result = m.search(None, '(X-GM-MSGID "%s")' % gm_msgid)
if result[0] != 'OK':
errors2.append(gm_msgid)
continue
emailid = result[1][0]
result = m.store(emailid, '-X-GM-LABELS', from_folder)
if result[0] != 'OK':
errors2.append(gm_msgid)
continue
m.close()
m.logout()
if errors: print >>sys.stderr, len(errors), "failed to add label", to_folder
if errors2: print >>sys.stderr, len(errors2), "failed to remove label", from_folder
I know that this is a very old question, but any way. The proposed solution by Manoj Govindan probably works perfectly (I have not tested it but it looks like it. The problem that I encounter and I had to solve is how to copy/move more than one email!!!
So I came up with solution, maybe someone else in the future might have the same problem.
The steps are simple, I connect to my email (GMAIL) account choose folder to process (e.g. INBOX) fetch all uids, instead of email(s) list number. This is a crucial point to notice here. If we fetched the list number of emails and then we processed the list we would end up with a problem. When we move an email the process is simple (copy at the destination folder and delete email from each current location). The problem appears if you have a list of emails e.g. 4 emails inside the inbox and we process the 2nd email in inside the list then number 3 and 4 are different, they are not the emails that we thought that they would be, which will result into an error because list item number 4 it will not exist since the list moved one position down because 2 position was empty.
So the only possible solution to this problem was to use UIDs. Which are unique numbers for each email. So no matter how the email will change this number will be binded with the email.
So in the example below, I fetch the UIDs on the first step,check if folder is empty no point of processing the folder else iterate for all emails found in the folder. Next fetch each email Header. The headers will help us to fetch the Subject and compare the subject of the email with the one that we are searching. If the subject matches, then continue to copy and delete the email. Then you are done. Simple as that.

Solution with Python 3, to move Zoho mails from Trash to Archive. (Zoho does not archive deleted messages, so if you want to preserve them forever, you need to move from Trash to an archival folder.)
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import imaplib, sys
obj = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.zoho.com', 993)
obj.login('account', 'password')
obj.select('Trash')
_, data = obj.uid('FETCH', '1:*' , '(RFC822.HEADER)')
if data[0] is None:
print("No messages in Trash")
sys.exit(0)
messages = [data[i][0].split()[2] for i in range(0, len(data), 2)]
for msg_uid in messages:
apply_lbl_msg = obj.uid('COPY', msg_uid, 'Archive')
if apply_lbl_msg[0] == 'OK':
mov, data = obj.uid('STORE', msg_uid , '+FLAGS', '(\Deleted)')
obj.expunge()
print("Moved msg %s" % msg_uid)
else:
print("Copy of msg %s did not work" % msg_uid)
