Thread-topic: Mailbox access via Python

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has tried to access a mailbox (IMAP or MS Exchange) with a Python script?

I'm brainstorming the following use case:

Tasks within Zim can be sent via mail (already possible). The recipient can reply to the mail and tick marks a task by adding an x into the task brackets:

[x] this is a ticked task [d:2015-05-07] @Murat

Zim polls the mailbox and checks for ZIM mails with ticked tasks and if found, tick marks them within the Zim db and adds the body of the mail
into the note under the ticked task in this format:
[2015-05-07: note: 'here goes the mail body']


What do you think?

Regards,
Murat
