如何从mail.uid python中的时间戳获取所有电子邮件

Question

I know how to get all mails since a specific day:

import datetime
date = (datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(1)).strftime("%d-%b-%Y")
result, data = mail.uid('search', None, '(SENTSINCE {date})'.format(date=date))

i can't get mails from a specific timestamp. My attempt has been:

import datetime
date = (datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(hours=24)).strftime("%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S")
result, data = mail.uid('search', None, '(SENTSINCE {date})'.format(date=date))

but i get the following error:

error: UID command error: BAD ['Could not parse command']

IMAP search grammar does not support times. Only dates. It is a protocol limitation. See RFC 3501 for search syntax.
