11.10.2 IMAP4 Example
</H2>
<P>
Here is a minimal example (without error checking) that opens a
mailbox and retrieves and prints all messages:
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
import getpass, imaplib
M = imaplib.IMAP4()
M.login(getpass.getuser(), getpass.getpass())
M.select()
typ, data = M.search(None, 'ALL')
for num in data[0].split():
typ, data = M.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
print 'Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1])
M.close()
M.logout()
</pre></div>
