Hello,
I am trying to use POP3_SSL class of the poplib module to read email
from my gmail account. I can connect just fine using the example here http://www.python.org/doc/lib/pop3-example.html
import getpass, poplib
M = poplib.POP3('lo calhost')
M.user(getpass. getuser())
M.pass_(getpass .getpass())
numMessages = len(M.list()[1])
for i in range(numMessag es):
for j in M.retr(i+1)[1]:
print j
That is the above sample code from the python doc. While everything
works fine, the problem is that when I use the list() function it only
returns about 400 messages starting from the beginning of my inbox. I
have probably 10,000 emails in my gmail account. I don't see any pop3
object functions to "move" around the inbox or anything of the like.
Could someone point me in the right direction? I'm sure there must be
something simple I am missing.
Thanks,
Steve 2 3029

That's a lot of emails! :-)
I had a quick look at poplib.py and I couldn't see any limit in the
code itself. Perhaps it's the gmail server that's doing it. Can you
retrieve the later messages, eg have you tried M.retr(500)? If you can
then you could just try retrieving messages beyond what M.list() says
until it says there's no such message.

Nothing changes when I retrieve the messages it first provides me.
What baffles me is I see tons of examples online doing the same thing: http://python.about.com/od/simplersc...up_gmail_3.htm
I'm not sure if it could be just a gmail thing either, because then it
would seem that this would be a problem with any pop email client. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi, I'm getting vast numbers of fake upgrade emails containing some kind
of virus. My rather old client can be made to reject these based on some
patterns in the subject line. They're nearly all based on the word
'New', 'Latest', 'Microsoft', 'Patch', 'Pack', ... etc etc.
Is there a python tool that can be made to delete these from my POP3
mail box rather than let my client reject? Quite a few seem to have
semi-valid return addresses so...

Is there a way to set up a script that will check a pop3 account and

The thing is:

Since there will be thousands of these emails , I would like to be able to

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
