imap - как удалить сообщения

Как я могу удалить сообщения из почтового ящика? Я использую этот код, но буквы не удаляются. Извините за мой английский.

def getimap(self,server,port,login,password):
    import imaplib, email
    box = imaplib.IMAP4(server,port)
    box.login(login,password)
    box.select()
    box.expunge()
    typ, data = box.search(None, 'ALL')
    for num in data[0].split() :
        typ, data = box.fetch(num, '(UID BODY[TEXT])')
        print num
        print data[0][1]
    box.close()
    box.logout()

Это рабочий код для удаления всех писем в вашем почтовом ящике:

import imaplib
box = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.mail.microsoftonline.com', 993)
box.login("[email protected]","paswword")
box.select('Inbox')
typ, data = box.search(None, 'ALL')
for num in data[0].split():
   box.store(num, '+FLAGS', '\\Deleted')
box.expunge()
box.close()
box.logout()

Я думаю, вы должны сначала пометить электронные письма для удаления.. Например:

for num in data[0].split():
   box.store(num, '+FLAGS', '\\Deleted')
box.expunge()

Следующий код печатает некоторые поля заголовка сообщения, а затем удаляет сообщение.

import imaplib
from email.parser import HeaderParser
m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("your_imap_server")
m.login("your_username","your_password")
# get list of mailboxes
list = m.list()
# select which mail box to process
m.select("Inbox") 
resp, data = m.uid('search',None, "ALL") # search and return Uids
uids = data[0].split()    
mailparser = HeaderParser()
for uid in uids:
    resp,data = m.uid('fetch',uid,"(BODY[HEADER])")        
    msg = mailparser.parsestr(data[0][1])       
    print (msg['From'],msg['Date'],msg['Subject'])        
    print m.uid('STORE',uid, '+FLAGS', '(\\Deleted)')
print m.expunge()
m.close() # close the mailbox
m.logout() # logout

Это то, что работает для меня, и это действительно быстро, поскольку я не удаляю каждое электронное письмо по отдельности (сохраняю), а вместо этого передаю индекс списка. Это работает как для личного, так и для корпоративного использования Gmail (Google Apps для бизнеса). Сначала он выбирает папку/метку для использования, m.list() покажет вам все доступные. Затем он ищет электронные письма старше года и выполняет перемещение в корзину. Затем он помечает все электронные письма в корзине флагом удаления и удаляет все:

#!/bin/python

import datetime
import imaplib

m = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")  # server to connect to
print "Connecting to mailbox..."
m.login('gmail@your_gmail.com', 'your_password')

print m.select('[Gmail]/All Mail')  # required to perform search, m.list() for all lables, '[Gmail]/Sent Mail'
before_date = (datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(365)).strftime("%d-%b-%Y")  # date string, 04-Jan-2013
typ, data = m.search(None, '(BEFORE {0})'.format(before_date))  # search pointer for msgs before before_date

if data != ['']:  # if not empty list means messages exist
    no_msgs = data[0].split()[-1]  # last msg id in the list
    print "To be removed:\t", no_msgs, "messages found with date before", before_date
    m.store("1:{0}".format(no_msgs), '+X-GM-LABELS', '\\Trash')  # move to trash
    print "Deleted {0} messages. Closing connection & logging out.".format(no_msgs)
else:
    print "Nothing to remove."

#This block empties trash, remove if you want to keep, Gmail auto purges trash after 30 days.
print("Emptying Trash & Expunge...")
m.select('[Gmail]/Trash')  # select all trash
m.store("1:*", '+FLAGS', '\\Deleted')  #Flag all Trash as Deleted
m.expunge()  # not need if auto-expunge enabled

print("Done. Closing connection & logging out.")
m.close()
m.logout()
print "All Done."

Если вы используете GMail, процесс немного отличается:

  1. Переместите его в папку [Gmail]/Trash.
  2. Удалите его из папки [Gmail]/Корзина (флаг Добавить\Удалить)

Все электронные письма в [Gmail]/Спам и [Gmail]/Корзина удаляются через 30 дней. Если вы удалите сообщение из [Gmail]/Спама или [Gmail]/Корзины, оно будет удалено навсегда.

Не забудьте также вызвать EXPUNGE после установки тега Deleted.

PyPurge Email V1.0
==================

This Python 3 program will scan an email account using IMAP for messages older than
a certain age and delete them.

Old email can be deleted from all folders or each folder.

Because of the length of time bulikng deleting takes, folders can be scanned first
then the deletions can be left running (which might take several hours for many
thousands of messages.)

After running this, you may need to "empty" your deleted items/Trash folder to recover the space.
With hotmail/live/outlook accounts (i.e. online Microsoft ones) you will need to manually empty "recoverable items" too.
This is done within the "deleted items" folder when viewing your webmail.

pzaenger - будет ли это работать. - person Jamsey; 06.12.2020

Это рабочий процесс, который я использую для удаления или сохранения электронных писем в папке «Входящие» Outlook. Управление электронной почтой — это постоянная проблема обслуживания. Иногда у меня есть тысячи писем, которые мне нужно удалить. Я создал две программы на Python, которые позволят мне эффективно управлять этим рабочим процессом.

Во-первых, я пишу программу на Python для создания текстового и CSV-файла. Текст и файл CSV состоят из двух частей.

  1. Количество для каждого уникального электронного письма.
  2. Уникальный адрес электронной почты отправителя.

Во-вторых, я редактирую текст или файл CSV, чтобы создать два текстовых файла.

  1. EmailsToKeep.txt. A. Электронные письма, которые я хочу сохранить без условия удаления. B. Я буду управлять этими письмами вручную.
  2. EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt. A. Электронные письма, которые я хочу сохранить или удалить на основе значения даты переменной EndDy. Я добавлю эти два текстовых файла по мере необходимости.

В-третьих, я пишу вторую программу на Python для удаления или сохранения электронных писем на основе четырех условий.

  1. Удаляйте письма, в которых нет адреса электронной почты.

  2. Сохраняйте электронные письма, находящиеся в текстовом файле EmailsToKeep.txt.

  3. Сохраняйте или удаляйте электронные письма из текстового файла EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt. A. Сохраняйте электронные письма, если дата новее, чем значение даты переменной EndDy. B. Удалять электронные письма, если дата старше, чем значение даты переменной EndDy.

  4. Удалите электронные письма, которые не были включены ни в один из текстовых файлов EmailsToKeep.txt или EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt. Ссылка на видео: https://youtu.be/bTgb3tO5r-8

     Second python program.

     #### Created by: James (Jamsey) P. Lopez
     #### Created date: 11/28/2020

     #### 
     #### This is the second python program of two
     #### Managing emails is a constant maintenance issue
     #### Sometimes I have thousands of emails that I need to delete
     #### This python programs will enable me to efficiently manage this process workflow
     ####
     #### This program uses two text files to accomplish my goal
     #### A. EmailsToKeep.txt is for emails I want to keep with no delete condition
     ####            I will manage these emails manually
     #### B. EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt is for emails that I want to keep based on the delete condition
     ####            The delete condition is set to the variable End30
     #### I will append these two text files as needed
     ####
     #### Email maintenance conditions
     #### 1. Delete emails that have no email address
     #### 2. Keep emails that are in the EmailsToKeep.txt text file
     #### 3. Keep emails that are in the EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt text file
     ####    A. Keep emails that are newer and equal to the value of variable End30
     ####    B. Delete the emails that are older than the value of variable End30
     #### 4. Delete emails that were not included in any of the EmailsToKeep.txt or EmailsToKeepForAtLeast30Days.txt text files
