Instead, compose your responses interleaved URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style so the conversation is easier to follow in the message.) I'm not familiar with the API of the ‘imaplib’ module. Start with URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/imaplib.html and remember that it is a library designed to work intimately with the IMAP command-response protocol. If, instead, you wish to manipulate mailboxes without needing to know much about the detailed features of the storage format, use the URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/mailbox.html ‘mailbox’ module for that purpose. -- \“No matter how cynical you become, it's never enough to keep | `\up.” —Jane Wagner, via Lily Tomlin | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
