    <p>I have been reading through <a href="http://yuji.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/python-imaplib-imap-example-with-gmail/" rel="nofollow">this document</a>. Most of the document is based on finding an email's uid. From the article:</p> <pre><code>"The way this works is pretty simple: use the uid function, and pass in the string of the command in as the first argument. The rest behaves exactly the same. result, data = mail.uid('search', None, "ALL") # search and return uids instead latest_email_uid = data[0].split()[-1] result, data = mail.uid('fetch', latest_email_uid, '(RFC822)') raw_email = data[0][1] </code></pre> <p>I'm working with a django app called django-mailbox (<a href="http://django-mailbox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://django-mailbox.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html</a>) the purpose of which is to consume emails.</p> <p>The app creates a "Message" model that looks like:</p> <pre><code>u'django_mailbox.message': { 'Meta': {'object_name': 'Message'}, 'body': ('django.db.models.fields.TextField', [], {}), 'encoded': ('django.db.models.fields.BooleanField', [], {'default': 'False'}), 'from_header': ('django.db.models.fields.CharField', [], {'max_length': '255'}), u'id': ('django.db.models.fields.AutoField', [], {'primary_key': 'True'}), 'in_reply_to': ('django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey', [], {'blank': 'True', 'related_name': "'replies'", 'null': 'True', 'to': u"orm['django_mailbox.Message']"}), 'mailbox': ('django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey', [], {'related_name': "'messages'", 'to': u"orm['django_mailbox.Mailbox']"}), 'message_id': ('django.db.models.fields.CharField', [], {'max_length': '255'}), 'outgoing': ('django.db.models.fields.BooleanField', [], {'default': 'False'}), 'processed': ('django.db.models.fields.DateTimeField', [], {'auto_now_add': 'True', 'blank': 'True'}), 'read': ('django.db.models.fields.DateTimeField', [], {'default': 'None', 'null': 'True', 'blank': 'True'}), 'subject': ('django.db.models.fields.CharField', [], {'max_length': '255'}), 'to_header': ('django.db.models.fields.TextField', [], {}) </code></pre> <p>using the python "email" library I can select a record from a django queryset and turn it into an email object:</p> <pre><code>qs = Message.objects.filter("my criteria") first = qs[0] one = first.get_email_object() // one is an email object </code></pre> <p>Does the existing data in the db have a uid, and if so how can I grab it. </p>

    1. COHow are you "reconstituting" the database information into an email object? Is it just serialized data that you're recalling, or are you manually building it?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
