poplib.retr doens't flag message as read
Hi there,
I am trying to use the poplib library to get emails using the retr
method. The small program bellow works but the message aren't flagged as
read which puzzles me. I believe the pop server is qmail 1.0.6 /
vpopmail 5.2.1 and I am running the following script on Windows using
Pyhton 2.5.
import poplib
import email
pop = poplib.POP3('mail.server.com')
pop.user('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
pop.pass_('password')
status, msg_list, octets = pop.list()
for msg_number in [msg.split(' ')[0] for msg in msg_list]:
status, lines, octets = pop.retr(msg_number)
msg = email.message_from_string('\n'.join(lines))
if not msg.is_multipart() and msg.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
print msg.get('Subject')
print msg.get_payload()
pop.quit()
Why aren't the message flagged as read? Is there a way to manually mark
them read?
Thanks,

The POP protocol has no concept of read or unread messages; the LIST command simply shows all existing messages. You may want to use another protocol, like IMAP, if the server supports it. You could delete messages after successful retrieval, using the DELE command. Only after a successful QUIT command will the server actually delete them. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
