    <p>I'm trying to put together a script that automatically forwards certain emails that match a specific criteria to another email.</p> <p>I've got the downloading and parsing of messages using imaplib and email working, but I can't figure out how to forward an entire email to another address. Do I need to build a new message from scratch, or can I somehow modify the old one and re-send it?</p> <p>Here's what I have so far (client is an imaplib.IMAP4 connection, and id is a message ID):</p> <pre><code>import smtplib, imaplib smtp = smtplib.SMTP(host, smtp_port) smtp.login(user, passw) client = imaplib.IMAP4(host) client.login(user, passw) client.select('INBOX') status, data = client.fetch(id, '(RFC822)') email_body = data[0][1] mail = email.message_from_string(email_body) # ...Process message... # This doesn't work forward = email.message.Message() forward.set_payload(mail.get_payload()) forward['From'] = 'source.email.address@domain.com' forward['To'] = 'my.email.address@gmail.com' smtp.sendmail(user, ['my.email.address@gmail.com'], forward.as_string()) </code></pre> <p>I'm sure there's something slightly more complicated I need to be doing with regard to the MIME content of the message. Surely there's some simple way of just forwarding the entire message though?</p> <pre><code># This doesn't work either, it just freezes...? mail['From'] = 'source.email.address@domain.com' mail['To'] = 'my.email.address@gmail.com' smtp.sendmail(user, ['my.email.address@gmail.com'], mail.as_string()) </code></pre>

    1. COThere's too much missing context here to make any determination. In particular, are you using the standard smtplib? What version of Python. Where is smtp initialized, is it connect()ed? Have you gotten a proper HELO response?

    2. COIt's the standard smtplib, python2.6.4. The smtplib client is working fine - I can send simple text emails by passing a string as the last argument of smtp. I just want to find a simple way of sending the entire MIME content of a downloaded message to a new address.

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.
