python imaplib to get gmail inbox subjects titles and sender name

    c.select('INBOX', readonly=True)    for i in range(1, 30):        typ, msg_data = c.fetch(str(i), '(RFC822)')        for response_part in msg_data:            if isinstance(response_part, tuple):                msg = email.message_from_string(response_part[1])                for header in [ 'subject', 'to', 'from' ]:                    print '%-8s: %s' % (header.upper(), msg[header])

This should give you an idea on how to retrieve the subject and from?

For those looking for how to check mail and parse the headers, this is what I used:

def parse_header(str_after, checkli_name, mailbox) :    #typ, data = m.search(None,'SENTON', str_after)    print mailbox    m.SELECT(mailbox)    date = (datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(1)).strftime("%d-%b-%Y")    #date = (datetime.date.today().strftime("%d-%b-%Y"))    #date = "23-Jul-2012"    print date    result, data = m.uid('search', None, '(SENTON %s)' % date)    print data    doneli = []    for latest_email_uid in data[0].split():        print latest_email_uid        result, data = m.uid('fetch', latest_email_uid, '(RFC822)')        raw_email = data[0][1]        import email        email_message = email.message_from_string(raw_email)        print email_message['To']        print email_message['Subject']        print email.utils.parseaddr(email_message['From'])        print email_message.items() # print all headers

This was my solution to get the useful bits of information from emails:

import datetimeimport emailimport imaplibimport mailboxEMAIL_ACCOUNT = "your@gmail.com"PASSWORD = "your password"mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')mail.login(EMAIL_ACCOUNT, PASSWORD)mail.list()mail.select('inbox')result, data = mail.uid('search', None, "UNSEEN") # (ALL/UNSEEN)i = len(data[0].split())for x in range(i):    latest_email_uid = data[0].split()[x]    result, email_data = mail.uid('fetch', latest_email_uid, '(RFC822)')    # result, email_data = conn.store(num,'-FLAGS','\\Seen')     # this might work to set flag to seen, if it doesn't already    raw_email = email_data[0][1]    raw_email_string = raw_email.decode('utf-8')    email_message = email.message_from_string(raw_email_string)    # Header Details    date_tuple = email.utils.parsedate_tz(email_message['Date'])    if date_tuple:        local_date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(email.utils.mktime_tz(date_tuple))        local_message_date = "%s" %(str(local_date.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")))    email_from = str(email.header.make_header(email.header.decode_header(email_message['From'])))    email_to = str(email.header.make_header(email.header.decode_header(email_message['To'])))    subject = str(email.header.make_header(email.header.decode_header(email_message['Subject'])))    # Body details    for part in email_message.walk():        if part.get_content_type() == "text/plain":            body = part.get_payload(decode=True)            file_name = "email_" + str(x) + ".txt"            output_file = open(file_name, 'w')            output_file.write("From: %s\nTo: %s\nDate: %s\nSubject: %s\n\nBody: \n\n%s" %(email_from, email_to,local_message_date, subject, body.decode('utf-8')))            output_file.close()        else:            continue
