Python imaplib deleting multiple emails gmail -


my code this...

import imaplib import email obj = imaplib.imap4_ssl('imap.gmail.com','993') obj.login('user','pass') obj.select('inbox') delete = []  in range(1, 10):   typ, msg_data = obj.fetch(str(i), '(rfc822)')   print   x =   response_part in msg_data:     if isinstance(response_part, tuple):         msg = email.message_from_string(response_part[1])         header in [ 'subject', 'to', 'from', 'received' ]:             print '%-8s: %s' % (header.upper(), msg[header])             if header == 'from' , '<sender's email address>' in msg[header]:                 delete.append(x) string = str(delete[0]) xx in delete:     if xx != delete[0]:         print xx         string = string + ', '+ str(xx) print string obj.select('inbox') obj.uid('store', string , '+flags', '(\deleted)') obj.expunge() obj.close() obj.logout()

the error is

traceback (most recent call last): file "del_email.py", line 31, in <module> obj.uid('store', string , '+flags', '(\deleted)') file "c:\tools\python(x86)\python27\lib\imaplib.py", line 773, in uid typ, dat = self._simple_command(name, command, *args) file "c:\tools\python(x86)\python27\lib\imaplib.py", line 1088, in _simple_command return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args)) file "c:\tools\python(x86)\python27\lib\imaplib.py", line 918, in _command_complete raise self.error('%s command error: %s %s' % (name, typ, data)) imaplib.error: uid command error: bad ['could not parse command']

i looking way delete multiple emails @ once using imaplib or other module. looking simplest example go off of. example given @ link here using python imaplib "delete" email gmail? last answer's example. i'ts not working correctly. can the 1st example work delete 1 email every time script ran. i'd rather try doing multiple running script several thousand times. main goal delete multiple emails through imaplib workarounds or other working modules or examples appreciated.

you might find bit easier using imapclient takes care of lot more of low level protocol aspects you.

using imapclient code like:

from imapclient import imapclient import email  obj = imapclient('imap.gmail.com', ssl=true) obj.login('user','pass') obj.select('inbox')  delete = [] msg_ids = obj.search(('not', 'deleted')) msg_id in msg_ids:     msg_data = obj.fetch(msg_id, ('rfc822',))     msg = email.message_from_string(msg_data[msg_id]['rfc822'])     header in [ 'subject', 'to', 'from', 'received' ]:         print '%-8s: %s' % (header.upper(), msg[header])         if header == 'from' , '<senders email address>' in msg[header]:             delete.append(x)  obj.delete_messages(delete) obj.expunge() obj.close() obj.logout()

this made more efficient fetching multiple messages in single fetch() call rather fetching them 1 @ time i've left out clarity.

if you're wanting filter sender's address can imap server filtering you. avoids need download message bodies , makes process whole lot faster.

this like:

from imapclient import imapclient  obj = imapclient('imap.gmail.com', ssl=true) obj.login('user','pass') obj.select('inbox') msg_ids = obj.search(('not', 'deleted', 'from', '<senders email address>')) obj.delete_messages(msg_ids) obj.expunge() obj.close() obj.logout()

c# - Check Keyboard Input Winforms -

i wondering if instead of doing this protected override void onkeydown(keyeventargs e) { if (e.keycode == keys.a) console.writeline("the key down."); } i set bool method , this: if(keydown(keys.a)) // whatever here i've been sitting here ages trying figure out how it. can't wrap head around it. in case wondering, plan call bool inside different method, check input. since want perform action after pressing key, using keydown event enough. but in cases suppose want check if specific key down in middle of process, can use getkeystate method way: [dllimport("user32.dll", charset = charset.auto, exactspelling = true)] public static extern short getkeystate(int keycode); public const int key_pressed = 0x8000; public static bool iskeydown(keys key) { return convert.toboolean(getkeystate((int)key) & key_pressed); } you should know, each time check key state using example iskeydown(keys.a) method returns true if ke...
