How to get email message in outlook account using IMAP? - outlook

Question

I tried one sample program for getting an email message in outlook account using IMAP. In this account, I have 20 folders its getting all email messages except these folders (contact, calendar, task) not getting data its throwing server error. How to fix this error.
Code
import imaplib
import pprint
import email
import base64
import json
import re
import os
import fileinput
imap_host = 'outlook.office365.com'
imap_user = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
imap_pass = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'
count = 0
file_path = 'geek.txt'
# connect to host using SSL
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(imap_host,993)
# login to server
l = imap.login(imap_user, imap_pass)
# Get Flags,mailbox_name,delimiter using regex
list_response_pattern = re.compile(r'\((?P<flags>.*?)\) "(?P<delimiter>.*)" (?P<name>.*)')
# Get List of Sync folders
list_data = imap.list()
# Check Local Storage is empty Sync All Folders Details.
print(os.stat(file_path).st_size)
if os.stat(file_path).st_size == 0:
global day
# Iterate folders in Sync folder
for i in list_data[1]:
# Get Folder name
sample = re.findall('"\/"(.*)',i.decode("utf-8"))
# Get Message_ids
try:
print("message")
print(sample[0].lstrip().strip('"'))
data = imap.select(sample[0].lstrip())
search_resp, search_data = imap.search( None, "ALL" )
match = list_response_pattern.match(i.decode("utf-8"))
flags, delimiter, mailbox_name = match.groups()
print("1")
print(mailbox_name)
mailbox_name = mailbox_name.strip('"')
print(mailbox_name)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
continue
# Get Current Status of Folder
current_status = imap.status(
'"{}"'.format(mailbox_name),
'(MESSAGES RECENT UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY UNSEEN)',
)
print(current_status)
# Get message using UID and Message_id
msg_ids = search_data[ 0 ].split()
print("total count: ",len(msg_ids))
for i in msg_ids:
print("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$")
print("Message Ids: ", i)
count = count + 1
fetch_resp, fetch_UID = imap.fetch( i, 'UID' )
print("Fetch UID: ", fetch_UID)
day = bytes(str(fetch_UID[0].split()[2]).split("'")[1].split(')')[0],'utf-8')
print("ID: ",day)
fetch_resp, fetch_mdg = imap.uid('fetch', day, '(RFC822)')
print(fetch_mdg)
print("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$")
email_msg = fetch_mdg[0][1]
if email_msg and isinstance(email_msg, str):
try:
email_msg = email.message_from_string(email_msg)
except :
email_msg = None
elif email_msg and isinstance(email_msg, bytes):
try:
email_msg = email.message_from_bytes(email_msg)
except:
email_msg = None
print("*********************************")
print("Count: ",count)
print("UID: ",day)
print(mailbox_name)
print(email_msg['To'])
print(email_msg['From'])
print(email_msg['subject'])
print(email_msg)
print("*********************************")
# Store Folder details in File
status_details = current_status[1][0].decode("utf-8")
status_details = status_details.split('(')[1].split(')')[0].split(' ')
print(status_details)
if len(msg_ids) == 0:
json1 = json.dumps({'total_count':int(status_details[1]),'UID':0,'UIDNext':int(status_details[5]),'UIDValidity':int(status_details[7]), 'Folder name':mailbox_name})
else:

file.write(json1)
file.write("\n")
print('hi')
