imap folder scanner

[Sebastjan Trepca]

"senders" is list, that is why that regex does not work. I don't like
regexes that much so you can try this:

parsed_senders = []
sender = ""
for item in senders:
   if isinstance(item,tuple):
      item= ''.join(item)
   if item==')':
      parsed_senders.append(sender[sender.find('From:')+5:].strip())
      sender = ""
   else:
      sender+=item
print parsed_senders
