My recollection of using imaplib a few years ago is that yes, it is
unweildy, oddly low-level, and rather un-Pythonic (excuse my
presumption in declaring what is and isn't "Pythonic").

I switched to using imaplib2 and found it much easier to use. It's a
higher-level wrapper for imaplib.

I think this is the currently maintained fork:

https://github.com/jazzband/imaplib2

I haven't activly used either for several years, so things may have
changed...
