Cannot Access GMail "Subfolders" #21

Closed thesec closed 2 years ago

thesec commented 3 years ago

Trying to access any of GMail's "subfolders" fails. It seems this is due to GMail not using a actual folder structure but labels?

How to download attachments from a GMail label which would show up in GMail's search e.g. as "label:some-weird-thingies-going-on"?

Hmmh, the error seems to originate from the filtering?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/attachment-downloader", line 138, in <module>
    messages = mail.messages(**filter_options)
...

Happens with subfolder name passed having blanks 'firstFolder/second Folder'.
