Sending emails is what everyone uses most in their work. Today let’s take a look at how to use python to send and receive emails.
Python mainly uses the poplib and smtplib modules to implement the function of sending and receiving emails.
poplib is used to receive emails, while smtplib is responsible for sending emails.
The code is as follows:
#! /usr/bin/env python #coding=utf-8 import sys import time import poplib import smtplib #邮件发送函数 def send_mail(): try: handle = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.126.com',25) handle.login('XXXX@126.com','**********') msg = 'To: XXXX@qq.com\r\nFrom:XXXX@126.com\r\nSubject:hello\r\n' handle.sendmail('XXXX@126.com','XXXX@qq.com',msg) handle.close() return 1 except: return 0 #邮件接收函数 def accpet_mail(): try: p=poplib.POP3('pop.126.com') p.user('pythontab@126.com') p.pass_('**********') ret = p.stat() #返回一个元组:(邮件数,邮件尺寸) #p.retr('邮件号码')方法返回一个元组:(状态信息,邮件,邮件尺寸) except poplib.error_proto,e: print "Login failed:",e sys.exit(1) #运行当前文件时,执行sendmail和accpet_mail函数 if __name__ == "__main__": send_mail() accpet_mail()
