Hi EveryOne,

how I can get unread email from child inbox using exchangelib ?
for example , get unread email from todos child inbox?

root
├── inbox
|   └── todos
└── archive
    ├── Last Job
    ├── GitLab issues
    └── Mom

thanks

To navigate to a specific folder, you can use the slash notation:

todo_folder = account.inbox / "todos"

To select only unread emails, you can add a filter to the query: some_folder.filter(is_read=False)

the body field is probably what you want.

good morning , appricate your patience guideness, could you pls help me how to download the whole email to local disk, thanks.

That depends on what you want to store, and in which format.

i would like to save the whole mail to local disk as outlook mail format(.msg), Is it feasible? thanks

exchangelib doesn’t support that out of the box so you’ll have to build a solution on your own. I’m not familiar with the .msg format but hopefully there’s a spec somewhere. It could just be the MIME data which is available in the mime_content field.
