I want to read email and publish it to the web. Is there a good python library available to read email, understand headers, data, attachments etc. and which can easily convert this data to web publishable format?
Try python email module
This tutorial will also be helpful.

I'm working on a NLP project for classifying email in Python. The main goal is to build a model that automatically redirect mails to the good service. I try to build a database with only the customers text mail and their demand.
I started to load the emails on the pop server with poplib and it works good.
I'm looking for a solution to decode any mail whatever the encoding.
I'm really not expert with encodings and I use a code that doesn't always work, I can't figure out why ..
I remark that it doesn't work on old messages, probably they are archived in one more different encoding.
I need a method that can detect and decode systematically, I searched on the web for two days and found nothing! Only website which propose to do it but I would like to integrate it directly in my code. I only need the body of the mail.
Does such a package exist? And if yes, which ?
Thanks a lot for reading me
I'm trying to retrieve emails via a python script. I was looking to see if there's a way to retrieve them and display into an HTML inbox page. I know that I could just log onto my email and see my inbox, but I still want to see if I can retrieve my emails and render it in readable form.
Assuming you're trying to retrieve your Gmail inbox, Google's Gmail API is perfect for that use case.
First of all, here's the setup instructions for Python:
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python
Once you've got your Gmail project set up (including signing up and getting an API key), you can retrieve an inbox from the Users.messages data. The example Gmail uses in the first link (quickstart) retrieves Users.labels, so it should be a pretty basic modification to retrieve Users.messages using the same syntax.
Alternatively, Gmail has a REST API which you could use to easily retrieve JSON data using a simple HTTP request. See here:
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/
Note: if you're going the HTTP request route, then you might as well use JQuery (Javascript library) to execute an HTTP request using the $.get() and/or $.post() methods.
We are using Google Docs as a Email template resource in one of our application.
We have n number of templates for different different emails.
When the mail is to be sent, what we do is:
Get the html content of that particular template using Google Drive api.
Send that html content in Email using GMail api.
Now the problem is, the some of html attributes changes automatically when person receives email eg. the bold/italics/underline, fonts are replaced by the default fonts of Google Mail.
I have created a sample email template here. You can try playing with it.
Have anyone came across such problem ?
Is there any other alternative to accomplish ?
I have to process a file everyday. This file is sent to my Email once everyday. If I can get to this email once every day and download the attachment, that had be awesome. Is it even remotely possible to do such a thing?
Thanks!
Please see How can I download all emails with attachments from Gmail? for a practical example.
This is certainly possible. Check out imaplib in Python's standard library; with it doing what you want should be quite straightforward. Also, you can process zip files directly in Python using the zipfile library.
Your best bet is to create an IMAP Folder for your daily emails to be sent to and then create a filter in GMail to send those files there. Your Python script can then check ONLY that folder on some interval and assume that whatever ends up in there is the file you want.
A quick search yielded sooo many results for IMAP fetching examples in Python, I'll leave that part up to you, but I will say that libgmail looks pretty neat.
I've just been given a project which involves the following steps
Grab an email from a POP3 address
Open an attachment from the email
Extract the To: email address
Add this to a global suppression list
I'd like to try and do this in Python even though I could it in PHP in half the time (this is because I dont know anywhere near as much Python as PHP)
My question would be.
Can anyone recommend a Python library for interacting with email in the way described above?
Many thanks in advance
Two bits from the standard library: poplib to grab the email via POP3, email to slice and dice it as you wish.
