Read an Email via Python

Question

Hi, today I've looked for a script that can let me to read emails through it.
Here what I found:

import imaplib
import email
msrvr = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
msrvr.login("[e-mail]", "insert_your_password")
status, cnt = msrvr.select("Inbox")
stat, dta = msrvr.fetch(cnt[0], "(UID BODY[TEXT])")
result, data = msrvr.uid("search", None, "ALL")
inbox_item_list = data[0].split()
most_recent = inbox_item_list[-1]
oldest = inbox_item_list[0]
result2, email_data = msrvr.uid("fetch", oldest, "(RFC822)")
raw_email = email_data[0][1].decode("UTF-8")
email_message = email.message_from_string(raw_email)
#print(email_message["From"])
print(dta[0][1].decode("UTF-8"))
msrvr.close()
msrvr.logout()

and there's the email text in print(dta[0][1].decode("UTF-8")).

But now I have three questions to ask you:
1) How should I do to print who sent to me the email?
I tried with print(email_message["From"]), but every time it says me: The Google community team <[e-mail]>
2) Then, how to print the email title?
3) And the arrival time?

Thanks in advice, guys :))

Answer 1

I tested the following code with Python 2.7 and it worked for me. Obviously, I replaced the username and password with my gmail credentials.

This is essentially a copy/paste from an answer by mazelife at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1225586/checking-email-with-python

The only change I made was to reduce the connection_list to 15 elements because I was getting the following error when trying to process them all:
File "C:\Python27\lib\poplib.py", line 232, in retr
return self._longcmd('RETR %s' % which)
File "C:\Python27\lib\poplib.py", line 167, in _longcmd
return self._getlongresp()
File "C:\Python27\lib\poplib.py", line 152, in _getlongresp
line, o = self._getline()
File "C:\Python27\lib\poplib.py", line 377, in _getline
raise error_proto('line too long')
poplib.error_proto: line too long

Here is the code:
import poplib
from email import parser

pop_conn = poplib.POP3_SSL('pop.gmail.com')
pop_conn.user('[e-mail]')
pop_conn.pass_('yourpassword')
connection_list = pop_conn.list()[1][:15]
#Get messages from server:
messages = [pop_conn.retr(i) for i in range(1, len(connection_list) + 1)]
# Concat message pieces:
messages = ["\n".join(mssg[1]) for mssg in messages]
#Parse message intom an email object:
messages = [parser.Parser().parsestr(mssg) for mssg in messages]
for message in messages:
print message['subject']
pop_conn.quit()
