(Please don't top-post. Instead, compose your responses interleaved

the conversation is easier to follow in the message.)

I'm not familiar with the API of the ‘imaplib’ module. Start with
<URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/imaplib.html> and remember that
it is a library designed to work intimately with the IMAP
command-response protocol.

If, instead, you wish to manipulate mailboxes without needing to know
much about the detailed features of the storage format, use the
<URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/mailbox.html> ‘mailbox’ module
for that purpose.
