A very simple example...
import imaplib
m = imap.IMAP4(<myserver ip or host>)
m.login(username,password)
m.select('myfolder')
status, data = m.search(None,'(SUBJECT "BIKES")')
assert status=='OK', "Error. Message: %s"%data
data = data[0] #you get your results in a list and search returns only
one result
assert data,"No results"
#cool, we have results, but IMAP's search command only returns IDs so
we have to fetch
#msgs now
status,senders = m.fetch(data.replace('
',','),'(BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM)])')
assert status=='OK', "Error. Message: %s"%data
Now you just have to parse the "senders" data. There are many examples
about sending emails with python, like this one:
def send_notice():
import smtplib
msg = 'we got your mail, indeed'
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
mail = MIMEText(msg, 'plain', 'utf-8')
mail['From'] =fro='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
mail['Subject'] = "Spam machine"
mail['To'] = to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
errors = server.sendmail(fro, to, mail.as_string())
server.quit()
That other program should be very simple to make now.
