Hello,
I need to fetch and display message subjects containing a specific word. Here is what I've got so far:
import imaplib
imap = IMAP4("imap.mail.com")
imap.login("username", "password")
r, data = imap.select('INBOX')
r, data = imap.search(None, '(SUBJECT "Reminder")')What I need now is to print a list of subjects of the found messages. How do I do that? I hope my question makes sense.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Dmitri
Here is my crude solution:
m = IMAP4(IMAPSERVER)
m.login(IMAPUSER,IMAPPASSWD)
print m.select('INBOX')
typ, data = m.select('INBOX')
typ, data = m.search(None, '(SUBJECT "'+ KEYWORD + '")')
for num in data[0].split():
typ, data = m.fetch(num, '(RFC822.SIZE BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)])')
message = data[0][1].lstrip('Subject: ').strip() + ' '
print message
m.logout()The problem with this solution is that it doesn't print the very last message. For example, if mailbox contains 9 messages, the code above prints the first 8. Any ideas how to fix that?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Dmitri
How about for num in data[0].split() + 1: ?
How about
for num in data[0].split() + 1:?
Nope, this gives the error message: TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "int") to list Kind regards,

Ah, so it would seem that data[0] does not contain that final email message... are there other elements to the data object that may contain this last email or is this a limitation of IMAP4?
I've solve it! The num=int(num)+1 statement did the trick:
m = IMAP4(IMAPSERVER)
m.login(IMAPUSER,IMAPPASSWD)
print m.select('INBOX')
typ, data = m.select('INBOX')
typ, data = m.search(None, '(SUBJECT "'+ KEYWORD + '")')
for num in data[0].split():
typ, data = m.fetch(num, '(RFC822.SIZE BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)])')
num=int(num)+1
message = data[0][1].lstrip('Subject: ').strip() + ' '
print message
m.logout()Kind regards,
Dmitri
