Hey @karado58 ,
Sorry for not responding earlier.
Yes, you're right. Yahoo Mail's IMAP server does not allow direct selection of the Spam folder through the typical SELECT command due to its unique handling of spam messages. However, you can use the search functionality to fetch messages from the Spam folder as a workaround.
Here's an example in Python using the imaplib library:
import imaplib
# Replace with your own credentials
email = "[email protected]"
password = "your_password"
# Connect to the IMAP server and login
imap_server = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.mail.yahoo.com", 993)
imap_server.login(email, password)
# Search for all messages in the Spam folder
status, message_numbers = imap_server.search(None, 'X-YMAIL-BOX:Spam')
message_numbers_list = message_numbers[0].split()
# Fetch and process messages
for msg_num in message_numbers_list:
# Replace 'BODY[]' with 'BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (FROM TO SUBJECT DATE)]' if you only want specific headers
status, msg_data = imap_server.fetch(msg_num, '(BODY[])')
# Do something with msg_data, e.g., print or save the message
# Logout and close the connection
imap_server.logout()
This script connects to the Yahoo Mail IMAP server, logs in, and searches for messages in the Spam folder. You can then fetch and process the messages as needed. Remember to replace the email and password placeholders with your own Yahoo Mail credentials.
Note that the 'X-YMAIL-BOX' search criterion is specific to Yahoo Mail and may not work with other email providers.
Hope this helps!
