Set operations are designed for this:: # Construct a set of all message numbers. status, data = con.search(None, "ALL") ids_of_all_messages = set(data[0].split()) # Construct a set of messages mentioning the address. status, data = con.search(None, 'Body', '"x...@gmail.com"') ids_of_messages_containing_address = set(data[0].split()) # Get the messages to delete. ids_of_messages_to_delete = ( ids_of_all_messages - ids_of_messages_containing_address) -- \ “Too many pieces of music finish too long after the end.” —Igor | `\ Stravinskey | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
