I've been searching for a way to get the latest emails from my hotmail account (specifically the FROM and MESSAGE) using Python. The solutions mostly seem to be for gmail which isn't working as I would like.
Example 1: Using the Gmail examples - msg spits out a lot of unwanted data and the attempt to get subject, to and from returns blanks for each.
import imaplib
import email
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('outlook.office365.com')
mail.login('myemail@hotmail.com', 'password')
mail.list()
mail.select('inbox')
for i in range(1, 5):
typ, msg_data = mail.fetch(str(i), '(RFC822)')
for response_part in msg_data:
if isinstance(response_part, tuple):
# print(response_part[1])
msg = email.message_from_string(str(response_part[1]))
print(msg)
for header in [ 'subject', 'to', 'from' ]:
print('%-8s: %s' % (header.upper(), msg[header]))
mail.close()
mail.logout()
Example 2: Gets last outlook email contents but cannot seem to get more (e.g. last 5)
import imaplib
msrvr = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('outlook.office365.com', 993)
unm = 'myemail@hotmail.com'
pwd = 'password'
msrvr.login(unm, pwd)
print(str(len(msrvr.select('inbox'))))
stat,cnt = msrvr.select('inbox')
print(str(len(cnt)))
for i in range(0,5):
stat,dta = msrvr.fetch(cnt[i], '(BODY[TEXT])')
print(dta[0][1])
msrvr.close()
msrvr.logout()
Any thoughts how I could get the last 5 emails with FROM and MESSAGE?
