POPython - Imap Gmail Response
text
Body
copied!<p>I am programming a simple IMAP client for gmail. As it is an assignment to use sockets and so on, i cannot use python's imaplib library. I encountered a problem within this code:</p> <pre><code> def connect(self, server, username, password, port=993): self.socket.connect((server, port)) response = self.socket.recv(2048) if response.startswith('NO' or 'BAD'): return False print response # send username self.sendData('a001 login {0} {1}\n'.format(username, password)) response = self.socket.recv(2048) if response.startswith('NO' or 'BAD'): return False print response self.sendData('a002 CAPABILITY\n') response = self.socket.recv(2048) if response.startswith('NO' or 'BAD'): print response return False print response return True </code></pre> <p>Everything works fine, until the second command to be sent. I'm not really sure, what i am in now. </p> <p>Here is sendData which was asked:</p> <pre><code> def sendData(self, command): lenght = len(command) totalSendBytes = 0 while (totalSendBytes < lenght): bytesSend = self.socket.send(command[totalSendBytes:]) if bytesSend <= 0: return False totalSendBytes += bytesSend return True </code></pre> <p>After launching the program, i get response only to first command :</p> <blockquote> <ul> <li><p>OK Gimap ready for requests from IPGOESHERE 47if12049394eef.11</p></li> <li><p>CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN X-GM-EXT-1 UIDPLUS COMPRESS=DEFLATE a001 OK xxx@gmail.com XXX XXX authenticated (Success)</p></li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
