如何通过python和IMAP删除超过2天的电子邮件？

Question

我有一个脚本，可以下载特定文件夹/标签的google takeout备份导出，一旦完成这一部分，下一步就是执行删除脚本。因为我是做外卖的，所以需要2-3天的时间来创建备份，然后才能下载，因为电子邮件备份相当大。因此，在这2-3天内，当我等待备份准备好下载时，我会收到电子邮件，而这些电子邮件不会出现在我请求的备份导出中

所以我希望我的脚本从今天起2-3天内删除电子邮件。下面是我的代码，我知道我需要过滤/搜索的部分在“typ，data=mail.search（无，'全部'） " 但是，我不确定该在哪里进行过滤，并告诉它仅标记/选择2-3天前发送到垃圾箱的电子邮件。有什么帮助吗

def deleteEmailIMAP(user, password, IMAP):
        mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(IMAP)
        mail.login(user, password)
        print("Logging into account:", email )
        mail.select("Process") #select folder/label
        print("Process Folder Selected")
        time.sleep(2)
        typ, data = mail.search(None, 'ALL')
        print(" Emails from Process Folder sent to Trash")
        for num in data[0].split():
            mail.store(num, '+X-GM-LABELS', r'(\Trash)') #sent to trash and removed from folder
        mail.expunge()
        print("Sent to Trash.")
        print("Emptying Trash & Expunge...")
        mail.select('[Gmail]/Trash')  # select all trash
        mail.store("1:*", '+FLAGS', '\\Deleted')  #Flag all Trash as Deleted
        mail.expunge()  # not need if auto-expunge enabled
        print("Done. Closing connection & logging out.")
        time.sleep(2)
        mail.close()
        mail.logout()
        exit()
    deleteEmailIMAP(email, passw, imapserver)

import datetime
from imap_tools import MailBox, A

with MailBox('imap.mail.com').login('test@mail.com', 'password', 'INBOX') as mailbox:
    # delete messages older than 2 days from current (INBOX) folder
    mailbox.delete(mailbox.fetch(A(date_lt=datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=2))))
