I found some code in internet regarding imaplib and configuring with my information I got it work without problem with my gmail account (but I had to change some gmail configuration to do it).
I try the same code with my azure email service but I get every time the same error:
> Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Carlo\Desktop\try.py", line 66, in <module>
> M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('mail.example.com') File "C:\Python34-32\lib\imaplib.py", line 1221, in __init__

The problem is that I can't understand why so I don't neither know in what concentrate to solve my problem...
Could you please help me?
This is my code:
import sys
import imaplib
import getpass
import email
import email.header
import datetime
def process_mailbox(M):
rv, data = M.search(None, '(UNSEEN)')#select just un-read documents
if rv != 'OK':
print("No messages found!")
return
for num in data[0].split():
rv, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
if rv != 'OK':
print("ERROR getting message", num)
return
msg = email.message_from_bytes(data[0][1])
print (msg)
hdr = email.header.make_header(email.header.decode_header(msg['Subject']))
subject = str(hdr)
print('Message %s: %s' % (num, subject))
print('Raw Date:', msg['Date'])
# Now convert to local date-time
date_tuple = email.utils.parsedate_tz(msg['Date'])
if date_tuple:
local_date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(
email.utils.mktime_tz(date_tuple))
print ("Local Date:", \
local_date.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S"))
M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('IMAP')#imap of my azure service
try:
rv, data = M.login("email", "password")#my username and password except imaplib.IMAP4.error:
print ("LOGIN FAILED!!! ")
sys.exit(1)
rv, data = M.select("Inbox") #select data from inbox folder if rv == 'OK':
print("Processing mailbox...\n")
process_mailbox(M)
M.close() else:
print("ERROR: Unable to open mailbox ", rv)
M.logout()
NEW INFORMATION:
Guys I didn't receive so much help so far so I was readying documentation and try by myself, I try with IP address of the machine and with IMAP specifying the port and I got a different error this time..... This is the code that I edited:
M = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('IMAP or IP Address','143')
try:
rv, data = M.login(EMAIL_ACCOUNT, passwd)
except imaplib.IMAP4.error:
print ("LOGIN FAILED!!! ")
sys.exit(1)
This time the error is this one:
TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
Some help please!!?!?!?
