That means you haven't logged in yet.

Will you PLEASE keep your IMAP questions in a single thread?

Anyone have an example they are willing to share that shows how to use the store command in imaplib? store( message_set, command, flag_list) Alters flag dispositions for messages in mailbox. I have been unable to find one or get the syntax correct through trial and error. I can send the command to the server in the following manor.

I'm working with imaplib. I'm trying to flag (or move or copy - anything that takes a message_set as an argument) a bunch of messages with one command and am having trouble. === def check_error(typ, data): if (typ != 'OK'): print typ print data

What is message_set in the python documentation for copy in imaplib? Is they referring message set to the particular mail message in my inbox or something else. copy( message_set, new_mailbox) Copy message_set messages onto end of new_mailbox.

Hello out there! I am new to python and so far I like it a lot. Now I want to create some IMAP mailboxes on my cyrus imapd, with quotas and each user should be subscribed to her/his own spam folder. This is what I've attempted: > >>> import imaplib, getpass > >>> cyrus = imaplib.IMAP4() > >>> cyrus.login("cyrus", getpass.getpass()) > Password:

imaplib use exception to report errors, but some problems must be detected by checking the return value ! For example, when trying to append into a mailbox with wrong ACL, imaplib return 'NO', but dont raise any exception (I give a sample at the end). This make error handling more complicate, because any imap statement is supposed to be followed by a test of the returned value! Why not report all problems using exceptions ?

setacl and getacl look to be already "Cyrus" specific (according the doc), why not to extend imaplib a little bit more ? Here are some code I wrote and tested to support cyrus "expire" that manage how long a message can stay into a mailbox. This is usefull for NEWS server ! The code is preceded by lot of sample.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
