Message: [QUOTE="David, post: 3862380"] Hi, I am writing Python script to process e-mails in a user's mail account. What I want to do is to update that e-mail's Status to 'R' after processing it, however, the following script truncates old e- mails even though it updates that e-mail's Status correctly. Anybody knows how to fix this? Thanks so much. fp = '/var/spool/mail/' + user mbox = mailbox.mbox(fp) for key, msg in mbox.iteritems(): flags = msg.get_flags() if 'R' not in flags: # now process the e-mail # now update status msg.add_flag('R' + flags) mbox[key] = msg [/QUOTE]
