I noticed that libcurl, hence pycurl supports IMAP and IMAPS, so I want to
know if I can use it to retrieve/remove emails from my Gmail account?
Yes you can.
Jay once wrote ShowGmailFolders.c for example:

Thank you for this wonderful code snippet. But for quick testing, I
try the following command based on the notes at
<http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/curl-imap-noauth.htm>, but failed:
$ curl -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:18888 -v -k --ssl

syscall error is probably your proxy. I can connect fine. Note you will
have to enable "less secure app access" [1] on your google account to
use the gmail username/password. There is a way to do it with oauth2
instead. I don't think I've ever had to do that though and I don't think
we have an example for it.
