11.8.2 IMAP4 Example

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

      import getpass, imaplib, string

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