Python. imap_tools. Cant use search criteria

Question

Why did this script didn't work? I've tested on gmail.com, IMAP, mail.ru, yandex.ru IMAPs.

from imap_tools import MailBox, AND, A

mb = MailBox('imap.gmail.com').login('email', 'password')
messages = mb.fetch(criteria=A(AND(seen=False), AND(date=current_date)),
                    mark_seen=False,
                    bulk=False)
for msg in messages:
    print(msg)

Out: imap_tools.errors.MailboxSearchError: Response status "OK" expected, but "NO" received. Data: [b'[CANNOT] Unsupported search criterion: (UNSEEN) ON 27-JUL-2021']

Thx!

Answer 1

simpler: A(seen=False, date=current_date)

if same error: means that your server can not do it

Code below works on my gmail acc:

for msg in mailbox.fetch(A(seen=True, date=datetime.date(2020, 4, 22))):
    print(msg.date, msg.from_)
