Subject: [Imap-protocol] is IMAP still the protocol to use to read emails???
|

Message-ID: <7b8b6e00-3396-2c08-f58e-290d619214ea@gmail.com>

I am a little confused. I code in Python ( 3.5.1) and I am "trying" to read the body of
|
|
messages from a gmail account. The issue is that I see a lot of POP3 activity on stack
|
|
exchange and google but very little for IMAP. So is IMAP dead? If so what should I be
|
|
looking at?
|
|
|
|
All I want to do is read in my email body and do something with it. I really am having
|
|
issues like the one below.
|
|
|
|
Using python 3.5.1 and its throwing this trace
|
|
|
|
|TypeError:initial_value must be str orNone,notbytes|
|
|
|
|
on the line
|
|
|
|
|text_msg =email.message_from_string(data[0][1])|
|
|
|
|
I know the text of the message is stashed in data[0][1] but can't seem to find the correct
|
|
code to convert from bytes to string for the RFC822 in python 3.5.1 what is the line
|
|
please? here is the code I found to read my IMAP box which works well for getting the
|
|
messages, formatting the date and showing the subject.
|
|
|
|
|rv,data =M.fetch(num,'(RFC822)')ifrv !='OK':print("ERROR getting message",num)returnmsg
|
|
=email.message_from_bytes(data[0][1])text_msg
|
|
=email.message_from_string(data[0][1])hdr=mail.header.make_header(email.header.decode_header(msg['Subject']))subject
|
|
=str(hdr)print('Message %s: %s'%(num,subject))print("text = ",text_msg)|
