18.11.2 IMAP4 Example

Here is a minimal example (without error checking) that opens a mailbox and retrieves and prints all messages:

    import getpass, imaplib

    M = imaplib.IMAP4()
    M.login(getpass.getuser(), getpass.getpass())
    M.select()
    typ, data = M.search(None, 'ALL')
    for num in data[0].split():
        typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
        print 'Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1])
    M.close()
    M.logout()
