I have the following script :
import imaplib
import email
import os
svdir = 'c:/downloads'
mail = imaplib.IMAP4('https://outlook.office365.com/mapi/emsmdb/?'
'MailboxId=6ebd46ee-55df-452e-a0af-44e7b248d992@jmawireless.com')
mail.login("RNa", "RN!")
mail.select("ADP Files")
typ, msgs = mail.search(None, '(SUBJECT "ADP Files")')
msgs = msgs[0].split()
for emailid in msgs:
resp, data = mail.fetch(emailid, "(RFC822)")
email_body = data[0][1]
m = email.message_from_string(email_body)
if m.get_content_maintype() != 'multipart':
continue
for part in m.walk():
if part.get_content_maintype() == 'multipart':
continue
if part.get('Content-Disposition') is None:
continue
filename = part.get_filename()
if filename is not None:
sv_path = os.path.join(svdir, filename)
if not os.path.isfile(sv_path):
print(sv_path)
fp = open(sv_path, 'wb')
fp.write(part.get_payload(decode=True))
fp.close()
The error being produced is:
C:\Users\rnandipati\Desktop\Batch Files\EMAIL ADP>email.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python34\lib\encodings\idna.py", line 165, in encode

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags): UnicodeError: encoding with 'idna' codec failed (UnicodeError: label empty or to o long)
I do not know why is this error produced. I am fairly new to this kind of scripting.

According to the documentation (and the source code too), the constructor imaplib.IMAP4() takes two parameters: host: the host name (usually a server name or IP address), defaulting to "localhost", and port: the port number, defaulting to the standard IMAP4 port).
Here, you are using an URL, which is wrong.
Try to open a connection like this:
with imaplib.IMAP4("outlook.office365.com") as imap4:
...
Consult this page to have the connection settings for Office 360: POP and IMAP settings for Outlook Office 365 for business
You may need SSL connection for Outlook Office 365. Here is a more useful usage example:
import imaplib
username = 'user@example.com'
password = 'password'
with imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('outlook.office365.com') as imap4:
imap4.login(username, password)
# retrieve a list of the mailboxes and select one
result, mailboxes = imap4.list()
imap4.select("inbox")
EDIT: alternative without with statement
try:
imap4.login(username, password)
# retrieve a list of the mailboxes and select one
result, mailboxes = imap4.list()
imap4.select("inbox")
finally:
imap4.close()
