So I'm working on a Python script to extract text from an email and following these instructions to do so. This is the script thus far:
import imapclient
import pprint
import pyzmail
mymail = "my@email.com"
password = input("Password: ")
imapObj = imapclient.IMAPClient('imap.gmail.com' , ssl=True)
imapObj.login(mymail , password)
imapObj.select_folder('INBOX', readonly=False)
UIDs = imapObj.search(['SUBJECT Testing'])
rawMessages = imapObj.fetch([5484], ['BODY[]'])
message = pyzmail.PyzMessage.factory(rawMessages[5484]['BODY[]'])
However I'm getting this error:
message = pyzmail.PyzMessage.factory(rawMessages[5484]['BODY[]'])
KeyError: 5484
5484 being the ID for the email that the search function finds. I've also tried putting UIDs in instead of 5484, but that doesn't work either. Thanks in advance!
Try replacing ['BODY[]'] with [b'BODY[]']
Thank you @Madalin Stroe .
I use python3.6.2 and pyzmail1.0.3 on Win10. When I run
message = pyzmail.PyzMessage.factory(rawMessages[4]['BODY[]'])
The ERR shows like this:When I modified this to
message = pyzmail.PyzMessage.factory(rawMessages[4][b'BODY[]'])
, it run well.
