How can i delete 48-36=12 letters?
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)
