从地址IMAP Python获取所有看不见的邮件的正文

Question

I would like to get the body of all unseen messages from an address using the IMAP library in Python 3. I was able to get all the message's body using this code here

import imaplib

mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')

mail.login( 'EMAIL', 'PASSWORD' )

mail.list

mail.select("inbox")


obj, data = mail.search(None, 'ALL')

for num in data [0].split():

    typ, data = mail.fetch(num, 'BODY[1]')

print('Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1]))

mail.close()

Is there any way that I could narrow the search to just return unseen messages from a single address like email@address.com? This site here shows the unseen flag and this user was able to get a list of email addresses that I have received emails from using this script here . I was unable to figure out how to change the code to work because it was missing parts. Is there some way to combine these three to achieve the results I need?

Replace ALL with UNSEEN . IMAP has many search keys you can use, ALL is not the only one.
