I once parsed emails with Python2 some years ago.
It was hell.
Now I need to do it again. This time with Python3.
I am unsure whether to use the standard library or a third party library.
Can someone give me an advice?

I have my own problems with python's email parser, but I'm curious: Why was it hell for you? – ʇsәɹoɈ May 17 '16 at 20:58

@ʇsәɹoɈ yes, this question would get more responses on stackoverflow. I know. What should I do? Several question on StackO got closed because I asked for a library. My point of view: Close softwarerecs, allow softwarerec questions on StackO. – guettli May 18 '16 at 9:59

@ʇsәɹoɈ what was hell? The unicode handling when parsing mails does not work well in Python2. – guettli May 18 '16 at 10:00
The standard email parser of Python is the standard Python library for parsing emails.
Some other worth mentioning are:
- Flanker: Open source email service by Mailgun
- Lbgmail: Python binding for interacting with the gmail emails
- Pyzmail
Personally, I would advise you to go with Flanker, which is a well-maintained library by people who are well versed with e-mail services.

There's no indication that Flanker currently works with Python 3, which was the whole point of the question. – John Y Sep 25 '15 at 16:55
