Project description

📧 EzMail

Send and read emails easily — with attachments, inline images, HTML templates, IMAP management, and OAuth2 authentication.

ezmail is a modern Python library that simplifies email automation and management.
It allows you to send and receive emails using SMTP and IMAP, supporting HTML templates, inline images, file attachments, and secure authentication (TLS/SSL or OAuth2).


🚀 Features

✉️ Sending Emails (EzSender)

  • Send emails to one or multiple recipients
  • Supports both HTML and plain text messages
  • Embed inline images directly into the email body
  • Attach any file type (PDF, CSV, ZIP, XML, etc.)
  • Use Jinja2 templates for dynamic HTML emails
  • Secure connection via TLS/SSL
  • Optional hourly send rate limiting
  • Full context manager support (with EzSender(...) as ez:)

📥 Reading Emails (EzReader)

  • Connect to any IMAP server using password or OAuth2 token
  • List all available mailboxes (Inbox, Trash, Sent, etc.)
  • Filter emails by ALL, UNSEEN, SEEN, FROM, SUBJECT, TEXT, SINCE, BEFORE
  • Retrieve emails and attachments in memory (no file saving required)
  • Mark as unread, move, delete, or empty folders (e.g., Trash)
  • Full context manager support (with EzReader(...) as reader:)

💌 Email Model (EzMail)

  • Represents an individual email message
  • Provides access to:
    • sender, subject, body, date, and attachments
  • Methods:
    • has_attachments() — checks if attachments exist
    • summary() — returns a short preview of the message body

💻 Installation

pip install py-ezmail

No additional configuration is required — just provide your SMTP and IMAP credentials.


🧠 Quick Overview

Class Description
EzSender Composes and sends emails with HTML, inline images, and attachments.
EzReader Reads, filters, and manages emails from IMAP servers.
EzMail Represents a single email object (sender, subject, body, attachments).

✉️ Example — Sending Emails

from ezmail import EzSender

smtp = {"server": "smtp.gmail.com", "port": 587}
sender = {"email": "me@gmail.com", "password": "app_password"}

with EzSender(smtp, sender) as ez:
    ez.subject = "System Update Report"
    ez.add_text("<h2>Hello!</h2><p>The latest report is attached below.</p>")
    ez.add_attachment("report.pdf")
    result = ez.send(["client@example.com", "team@example.com"])

print(result)

📬 Example — Reading Emails

from ezmail import EzReader

imap = {"server": "imap.gmail.com", "port": 993}
account = {
    "email": "me@gmail.com",
    "auth_value": "app_password",
    "auth_type": "password"
}

with EzReader(imap, account) as reader:
    emails = reader.fetch_unread(limit=5)
    for mail in emails:
        print(mail.subject, "-", mail.sender)
        if mail.has_attachments():
            for a in mail.attachments:
                print("💎", a["filename"], len(a["data"]), "bytes")

🗑️ Managing Emails

with EzReader(imap, account) as reader:
    emails = reader.fetch_unread(limit=1)
    if emails:
        mail = emails[0]
        reader.move_to_trash(mail)   # Move to Trash
        reader.empty_trash()         # Empty Trash

from ezmail import EzSender

with EzSender(
    smtp={"server": "smtp.domain.com", "port": 587},
    sender={"email": "me@domain.com", "password": "mypassword"}
) as ez:
    ez.subject = "Welcome to our platform!"
    ez.use_template("templates/welcome.html", name="John", version="3.2.1")
