Python pull back plain text body from message from IMAP account

Question

I have been working on this and am missing the mark.

I am able to connect and get the mail via imaplib.

msrv = imaplib.IMAP4(server)
msrv.login(username,         


        

Answer 1

Here is a minimal example from the docs:

import getpass, imaplib

M = imaplib.IMAP4()
M.login(getpass.getuser(), getpass.getpass())
M.select()
typ, data = M.search(None, 'ALL')
for num in data[0].split():
    typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
    print 'Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1])
M.close()
M.logout()

In this case, data[0][1] contains the message body.
