It's very messy.

It sure is. You'd think something intended to be
machine-readable would be easier to parse.
IMHO, email is the most disgracefully badly spec'ced application in

The imaplib module return values are mostly useless as-is:
they're just whatever string the server sent (or in some cases
a list of strings). You've got to parse them using the IMAP
syntax before you can do much with them.

Twisted has pretty good IMAP support (particularly client), and it's much
higher level than imaplib. It probably does what you're after.
Of course, the catch is that you have to use twisted 0.5 wink.
