Use 2-legged OAuth to access IMAP then you don't need to know user logins or
require their authorization. You don't need to get all messages to get the
unread count, it's as simple as:
import imaplib, re
conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com", 993)
conn.login(username, password) # This line would be replaced
with the OAuth Authentication
unreadCount = re.search("UNSEEN (\d+)", conn.status("INBOX",
"(UNSEEN)")[1][0]).group(1)
that code was blatantly stolen from:
