Description: This notebook provides an example of how to retrieve emails based on a specified date or filter them by 'before' or 'after' a given date. It demonstrates the process of fetching emails using date-based criteria for more targeted email retrieval.

Input

Import libraries

import naas
from naas_drivers import email
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import plotly.express as px
from datetime import date

Setup Variables

Create an application password following this procedure

• username: This variable stores the username or email address associated with the email account

• password: This variable stores the password or authentication token required to access the email account

• smtp_server: This variable represents the SMTP server address used for sending emails.

• box: This variable stores the name or identifier of the mailbox or folder within the email account that will be accessed.

username = "xxxxx@xxxx"
password = naas.secret.get("GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD")
smtp_server = "imap.gmail.com"
box = "INBOX"
date = date(2023, 6, 5)
condition = "on" # "on", "before", "after or on"

Model

Connect to email box

emails = email.connect(username, password, username, smtp_server)

Get email list on a certain date

sorted_emails = emails.get_emails_by_date(date=date, condition=condition)
print(len(sorted_emails))

Get email list before a certain date

condition = "before"
sorted_emails = emails.get_emails_by_date(date=date, condition=condition)
print(len(sorted_emails))

Get email list after or on a certain date

condition = "after or on"
sorted_emails = emails.get_emails_by_date(date=date, condition=condition)
print(len(sorted_emails))

Output
