Problem using Python's poplib to check email

408 Views Asked by At

When I use Python's poplib stat() method to check how many emails there are, it returns 0 even though there are emails in the server. Does anyone know why this happens?

I can connect to the server with my email address and password, but I can't see any emails.

Here's my code:

import poplib

pop_conn = poplib.POP3_SSL("pop.gmail.com")

pop_conn.user("[email protected]")

pop_conn.pass_("mypassword")

print('Messages: %s. Size: %s' % pop_conn.stat())

pop_conn.quit()

returns: Messages: 0. Size: 0

0
