I am trying to forward out and delete certain emails from a gmail account and run the others through a separate process. I've been following this example but for some reason I am running into an IndexError that my try catch I included up for another issue (if the inbox is empty) picks up.
# Connect and login to email
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
imap.login('sender','password')
imap.list()
imap.select('inbox')
smtp = smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com')
smtp.login('sender','password')
try:
result, data = imap.search(None,'ALL') # search and return sequential ids
ids_list = data[0].split()
print 'Total emails: '+str(len(ids_list))
latest_id = ids_list[-1]
#Process each email in inbox
for i in ids_list:
t, d = imap.fetch(i, '(RFC822)')
for res_part in d:
if isinstance(res_part, tuple):
msg = email.message_from_string(res_part[1])
subject = msg['subject']
print 'Subject: '+subject
if subject != 'Subject of email I care about':
print 'Dealing with it'
#Forward email to another account
#Attempt to forward an email
text = res_part[0][1] #Something is wrong with this line, throws exception
smtp.sendmail('sender', 'destination', text)
imap.store(i, '+FLAGS', '\\Deleted')
imap.expunge()
else:
#Process email
print 'Don\'t delete this'
except IndexError:
print 'Error'
#Inbox is empty (Or in this case apparently not)
I can't seem to figure out why I'm receiving this error. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
You need to indent the
if subject != 'Subject of email I care about':
print 'Dealing with it'
#Forward email to another account
#Attempt to forward an email
text = res_part[0][1] #Something is wrong with this line, throws exception
smtp.sendmail('sender', 'destination', text)
imap.store(i, '+FLAGS', '\\Deleted')
imap.expunge()
else:
#Process email
print 'Don\'t delete this'
If you don't, then res_part won't be a variable.
