connect function create IMAP4_SSL instance by default:

>>> host = "imap.gmail.com"
>>> user = "me@example.com"
>>> password = "hogehogehogehoge"
>>> mailbox = "secret"
>>> imapper = easyimap.connect(host, user, password, mailbox)

connect function also create IMAP4 instance by passing ssl argument:

>>> import easyimap
>>> host = "imap.gmail.com"
>>> user = "me@example.com"
>>> password = "hogehogehogehoge"
>>> mailbox = "secret"
>>> imapper = easyimap.connect(host, user, password, mailbox, ssl=False, port=143)
This imapper can list up latest n mail by listup method.
By default, This invoke fetch from IMAP4_SSL instance with ‘(UID RFC822)’.::
>>> mail1, mail2 = imapper.listup(2)
>>> mail1.uid
80
>>> mail1
<easyimap.easyimap.MailObj object at 0x...>
>>> type(mail1.body)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> type(mail1.title)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> type(mail1.date)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> type(mail1.sender)
<type 'unicode'>

You can check latest unseen mail by unseen method:

>>> imapper.unseen(2)
[(82, <easyimap.easyimap.MailObj object at 0x...>), (81, <easyimap.easyimap.MailObj object at 0x...)]

You can directly fetch email object with specific id:

>>> imapper.mail(80)
<easyimap.easyimap.MailObj object at 0x...>

You can download attachments:

>>> imapper.mail(80)
>>> (id, mail) = imapper.mail(80)
>>> for attachment in mail.attachment:
>>>     print attachment[0], attachment[1]

Finally, call quit method:

>>> imapper.quit()
