import imaplib
import email
from datetime import date
try:
    from imapclient import IMAPClient

    !pip install imapclient --user
    from imapclient import IMAPClient

Setup Variables

Create an application password following this procedure

Model

Connect to email box

server = IMAPClient('imap.gmail.com')
server.login(username, password)
server.select_folder('INBOX')
