Email client in Pyhton

Hi grp,
I new to this grp and python too.
i have started writing few python scripts myself.

now i am planning to write a bear minimum email client in
pyhton. i found the smtp module of python could serve my
pupose. I can send message using mails using the smtp lib.
Now i'm looking for some modules which can help me in
fetching the mails from the mailserver and managing folders.

I also look for some existing mail client, written in python
which wud serve my cause.

i searched google for no avail.

Maybe start by reading some email related rfc's

Mark Lutz in Programming Python, 2nd ed from O'Reilly covers the subject
in chapter 11 using only the standards modules for mails and Tkinter.

Start reading related RFCs like RFC2822, RFC2045/6/7, RFC2231, RFC821
.... and then read Python documentation and you'll find that most of
these RFC are supported/implemented by python modules like

- email
- smtlib
- rfc822

As far I know the most complete mail client written in Python is Pyne,
wich is a news/mail client written with PyGTK.

I'm writing a newsreader (XPN), wich can send mail replies, maybe you
can read its code.

I would like to do the following with C# in my asp.net app: Open the default email client of the user (just like a mailto: link would). Supply the subject line and put some HTML (including an image) into the body of the email. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Nate Heaton

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
