Features

  • Asynchronous IMAP connection
  • Fetch unseen emails
  • Broadcast new emails to subscribers
  • Easily integrate with context management

Installation

pip install mailstream

Quick Start

import asyncio
from mailstream import MailStreamClient, Config

async def process_email(mail):
    print(f"New email from: {mail.from_email}")
    print(f"Subject: {mail.subject}")

config = Config(
    host="imap.example.com",
    port=993,
    email="your_email@example.com",
    password="your_password",
    debug=True
)

async def main():
    client = MailStreamClient(config)
    await client.connect()

    # Subscribe to new emails
    listener = client.subscribe()
    
    # Process emails from listener
    while True:
        mail = await listener.get()
        await process_email(mail)

    # Close connection
    await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Configuration Options

  • host: IMAP server hostname (required)
  • email: Login email (required)
  • password: Login password (required)
  • port: IMAP server port (default: 993)
  • mailbox: Target mailbox (default: 'INBOX')
  • debug: Enable debug mode (default: False)

Advanced Usage

Fetching Unseen Mails

# Retrieve all unseen emails
unseen_mails = client.get_unseen_mails()
for mail in unseen_mails:
    print(mail.subject)

Multiple Listeners

async def listener1(mail):
    print("Listener 1 received:", mail.subject)

async def listener2(mail):
    print("Listener 2 received:", mail.subject)

listener1_queue = client.subscribe()
listener2_queue = client.subscribe()

Waiting for New Emails

await client.wait_for_updates(poll_interval=10.0)
