I want to search e-mail since a specific time . Here is my code .But it runs error.Can you give me some advice on how to solve it.thanks a lot!
import imaplib
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login('test#gmail.com', 'test')
mail.list()
# Out: list of "folders" aka labels in gmail.
mail.select("inbox") # connect to inbox.
result, data = mail.search(None, '(FROM "anjali sinha" SUBJECT "test")' )
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
result, data = mail.fetch(latest_email_id, "(RFC822)") # fetch the email body (RFC822) for the given ID
raw_email = data[0][1] # here's the body, which is raw text of the whole email
# including headers and alternate payloads
print raw_email
this eventually worked for me
specyfing labels with conditions
UPDATE: OP has imported imaplib but it's still generating an error message which has not been put into the question.

This won't work because you have not imported imaplib.
Try
import smtplib, time, imaplib
instead of
import smtplib, time

iam trying to use a python script to do listener on gmail to get incoming emails with spicific criteria so far everything work well the script so listener and wait for the expected emai but when the email is recived i goten the following error any help will be welcome iam too beginer . already thanks.
the script used:

I've been following the guide here on how to read emails in python
https://codehandbook.org/how-to-read-email-from-gmail-using-python/

ORG_EMAIL = "#gmail.com"

def read_email_from_gmail():
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(SMTP_SERVER)
mail.login(FROM_EMAIL,FROM_PWD)
mail.select('inbox')
type, data = mail.search(None, 'ALL')
mail_ids = data[0]
id_list = mail_ids.split()
first_email_id = int(id_list[0])
latest_email_id = int(id_list[-1])

typ, data = mail.fetch(i, '(RFC822)' )
for response_part in data:

email_subject = msg['subject']
email_from = msg['from']
print('From : ' + email_from + '\n')
print('Subject : ' + email_subject + '\n')
This code was made for python2 and running it with python2 works perfectly, but I would like to work with python3 and so i tried to translate the code. Firstly, I changed all the instances of print foobar to print(foobar).
However Im getting the error 'TypeError: can't concat bytes to int'
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: can't concat bytes to int
I'm not too familiar with this error. But using the original code from the text in python2 works perfectly with no issues. I kind of understand the error it's saying it can't concatenate bytes with numerics. However Im not sure why this error would occur going from python2 to python3.
I've tried many code to access and read email content, for example, about Gmail i only can do authentication and with Outlook i have code that can read email but it's encrypted...but now it only access email and doesn't output with encrypted information. So i need help to solve this. Thanks
Here's the code:
import imaplib
import base64
email_user = input('Email: ')
email_pass = input('Password: ')
M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap-mail.outlook.com', 993)
M.login(email_user, email_pass)
M.select()
typ, data = M.search(None, 'ALL')
for num in data[0].split():
typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
num1 = base64.b64decode(num1)
data1 = base64.b64decode(data)
print('Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1]))
M.close()
M.logout()
I've checked through your code anyway, and there are a couple of comments. The first one is that commas seem to have been stripped out when you pasted the code in here. I've tried to put them back, so check that my code does match yours. Remember that without access to Outlook, I can't test my suggestions.
import imaplib
import base64
email_user = input('Email: ')
email_pass = input('Password: ')
M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap-mail.outlook.com', 993)
M.login(email_user, email_pass)
M.select()
typ, data = M.search(None, 'ALL')
for num in data[0].split():
typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)') # data is being redefined here, that's probably not right
num1 = base64.b64decode(num1) # should this be (num) rather than (num1) ?
data1 = base64.b64decode(data)
print('Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1])) # don't you want to print num1 and data1 here?
M.close()
M.logout()
Assuming that's correctly reconstituted, you call your message list data on line 10, but then re-assign the results of calling fetch() to data on line 13.
On line 14, you decode num1, which hasn't been defined yet. I'm not sure that the numbers need decoding though, that seems a bit strange.
On line 16, you're printing the encoded values, not the ones you've decoded. I think you may want something like
import imaplib
import base64
email_user = input('Email: ')
email_pass = input('Password: ')
M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap-mail.outlook.com', 993)
M.login(email_user, email_pass)
M.select()
typ, message_numbers = M.search(None, 'ALL') # change variable name, and use new name in for loop
for num in message_numbers[0].split():
typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
# num1 = base64.b64decode(num) # unnecessary, I think
print(data) # check what you've actually got. That will help with the next line
data1 = base64.b64decode(data[0][1])
print('Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data1))
M.close()
M.logout()
Hope that helps.
use data[0][1].decode('utf-8')
It will work. I was also facing the same problem. It worked for me.
You just need to enable the less secure apps in your Gmail account if it is not enabled you will get an authentication error even if your code is all right. I was also getting so I researched and got this error
I need to Copy every mail from my 'inbox'+sub folders to 2 new folders, one for short subjects and another for the long ones.
The crawl always abort after the 10th mail, and I need to repeat the process for 10 000 of them.. if someone had a solution I would be very grateful, here is my code :
import imaplib, getpass, re, email
pattern_uid = re.compile(b'\d+ \(UID (?P<uid>\d+)\)')

separator, b, name = c.partition(' ')
return (flags, separator.replace('"', ''), name.replace('"', ''))

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('************')
rv,data = imap.list()
# print(data)
if rv == 'OK':
for mbox in data:
flags,separator,name = parse_mailbox(bytes.decode(mbox))
print(name)
if 'HasNoChildren' in flags and '2' in name:
name = name.replace('/ Inbox','Inbox')
rv2, data2 = imap.select('"'+name+'"')
print(rv2)
resp, items = imap.search(None, 'All')
email_ids = items[0].split()
# print(items)
print(email_ids)
# Assuming that you are moving the latest email.
# for mail in email_ids:
# if
print(len(email_ids))
for i in range(0,len(email_ids)):
print('NOUVEAU MESSAGE \n')
print(email_ids[i])
resp, data = imap.fetch(email_ids[i], "(UID)")
rv,sujet = imap.fetch(email_ids[i],("(RFC822)"))
varSubject= ""
for response_part in sujet:
if isinstance(response_part, tuple):
msg = email.message_from_bytes(response_part[1])
varSubject = msg['subject']
break
print(varSubject)
print(i)
print(type(data[0]))
print(data[0])
try :
msg_uid = parse_uid(data[0])
except AttributeError:
continue
num = ""
dossier = ""
if len(varSubject) <= 20:
dossier = 'INBOX/sujets_courts'
imap.create(dossier)
elif len(varSubject) > 20:
dossier = 'INBOX/sujets_longs'
imap.create(dossier)
print(varSubject+'******'+dossier)
print(msg_uid)
result = imap.uid('COPY', msg_uid, dossier)
# if result[0] == 'OK':
# mov, data = imap.uid('STORE', msg_uid , '+FLAGS', '(\Deleted)')
# imap.expunge()
disconnect(imap)
The email and the password are substituted by '****'
Thanks a lot :)

OK I figured out that the problem comes from the creation of an already-created folder, but I could not find any folder.exists() look-a-like method in the imaplib doc...
This is my first python code, so please excuse me.
This is what i wrote.

I filtering messages by subject and getting the attachment saved to particular location. Kindly note that the subject condition will filter only one message.
Gmail does not allow connecting on a plain text port. SSL/TLS is required.
You will need:
m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
