Not getting all results when using headers_only

Hi,

I wanted to get a quick list of the uids of messages in a mailbox. Using:

msg_uids = [msg.uid for msg in mailbox.fetch()]

I get a list with the uids for all messages in the mailbox, in length equal to:

mailbox.folder.status()['MESSAGES']

But when I do the same with:

msg_uids = [msg.uid for msg in mailbox.fetch(headers_only=True)]

I only get to see a few of them…

I would expect either all uids to be returned or none at all, since the uid is not a part of the headers, right?

Similarly, something like:

for msg in mailbox.fetch(Q(uid=xxx),headers_only): print(msg.headers)

only works for the uids from the list returned by the previous command. Without the headers_only, it works for all the uids from that mailbox.

I have not yet looked into the imap_tools code, but I wanted to mention it here already anyway since this looks like strange behavior to me. At least, this is not what I would expect, and even if the usage seems strange (why would I need to use the uids when I can use Q to query), using the headers_only might perhaps also have other side-effects…

Best regards, Franky

Hi Vladimir,

Thanks a lot! There’s been a lot in-between, but I will check the changes somewhere next week.
