先要安装maillib库

假设我要获得一周来，豆瓣发送的每个邮件中的第一个网址

def email_filter(sender, body):  
    target = "http://"  
    sender, body = sender[1], body.split("\n")

        for line in body:  
            if target in line:  
                return line.strip()

    conn = poplib.POP3(host, port)  
    #conn.set_debuglevel(1) #输出调试信息  
    conn.user(email)  
    conn.pass_(password)  
  
    links = []  
    nr = conn.stat()[0] #获取邮件数量

        msg = maillib.Message.from_string( "\n".join(body) )  
        today = datetime.now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)  
        if msg.date < today - timedelta(days=days):  
            break  
        link = email_filter(msg.sender, msg.body)  
        if link:

    links = read_email("me@126.com", "pass", host="pop.126.com", days=7)  
    for link in links:  
        print link
