使用imap python阅读看不见的电子邮件的正文（仅文本）

Question

Heres the code I used to read unseen message in the account

import imaplib


def read():
    # Login to INBOX
    imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
    imap.login("noticeboard16@gmail.com","embeddedSystems")
    imap.select('INBOX')

    # Use search(), not status()
    status, response = imap.search('INBOX', '(UNSEEN)')
    unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()

    # Print the count of all unread messages
    print len(unread_msg_nums)

    # Print all unread messages from a certain sender of interest
    status, response = imap.search(None,"UNSEEN")
    unread_msg_nums = response[0].split()
    da = []
    for e_id in unread_msg_nums:
        _, response = imap.fetch(e_id, '(UID BODY[TEXT])')
        da.append(response[0][1])
    print da

    # Mark them as seen
    for e_id in unread_msg_nums:
        imap.store(e_id, '+FLAGS', '\Seen')



read()

The result I got was

Something like above this includes the message I receved but I need to print only the message

Answer 1

What you got is the raw email. There is a python library email which helps you to parse raw emails:

import email

email_message = email.message_from_string(raw_email)


print email_message['To']

print email.utils.parseaddr(email_message['From']) # for parsing "Yuji Tomita" <yuji@grovemade.com>

print email_message.items() # print all headers

# note that if you want to get text content (body) and the email contains
# multiple payloads (plaintext/ html), you must parse each message separately.
# use something like the following: (taken from a stackoverflow post)
def get_first_text_block(self, email_message_instance):
    maintype = email_message_instance.get_content_maintype()
    if maintype == 'multipart':
        for part in email_message_instance.get_payload():
            if part.get_content_maintype() == 'text':
                return part.get_payload()
    elif maintype == 'text':
        return email_message_instance.get_payload()

Here is more information about obtaining the raw email (what you did) and parsing the raw email (what you want)
