I am trying to read the information on the last email received:

    mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')

    mail.login('test1@gmail.com', 'ABC#')

    mail.list()

    mail.select("inbox")



    result, data = mail.search(None, "ALL")

    ids = data[0]  # data is a list.

    id_list = ids.split()  # ids is a space separated string

    latest_email_id = id_list[-1]  # get the latest



    #print ("latest_email_id= ", latest_email_id)

    result, data = mail.fetch(latest_email_id, "(RFC822)")

    raw_email = data[0][1]

The print statement for "raw_email" is something like this (note I have changed info for security reasons:

I have read a several stackoverflow about reading email info. i.e python imaplib to get gmail inbox subjects titles and sender name

They mostly assume that the data returned are tuple , and they do somethign liek this

   for response_part in data:

      if isinstance(response_part, tuple):

          msg = email.message_from_string(response_part[1])

          varSubject = msg['subject']

          varFrom = msg['from']

How can I retrieve info such as Subjects and To and etc.

It does not seem to be a dictionary since I tried

dTemp = {}

dTemp = raw_email

dTemp["Subject"]

and that last statement gives me an error

For parsing an email it is best to use the built-in email.parser module.

If you have the raw_email as bytes, you can use email.parser.BytesParser() to parse it:

>>> parser = email.parser.BytesParser()

>>> parsed_message = parser.parsebytes(email_body, headersonly=True)  # or False...

Then see the docs on email.message.Message for accessing data from the message, but in general it works this way:

>>> parsed_message["Subject"]

'Welcome to the X Portal'

>>> parsed_message["From"]

'Y Ferdowsian <pingY@gmail.com>'

>>> parsed_message["To"]

'zXtest@gmail.com'
