QQ Mail Manager

Manage QQ邮箱 via standard IMAP/SMTP protocols using Python scripts.

Prerequisites

The user must enable IMAP/SMTP in QQ Mail settings and obtain an authorization code (授权码):

1. Log in to mail.qq.com → Settings (设置) → Account (账户)
2. Enable IMAP/SMTP service
3. Generate an authorization code (授权码) — this is NOT the QQ password

Configuration

The skill reads credentials from environment variables:

• QQMAIL_USER — QQ email address (e.g. 123456789@qq.com)
• QQMAIL_AUTH_CODE — Authorization code from QQ Mail settings (授权码)

Available Operations

Read recent emails

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py inbox --limit 10

Shows: sender, subject, date, and a text preview of each email.

Read a specific email by index

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py read --index 1

Shows the full email content (text body).

Send an email

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py send --to "recipient@example.com" --subject "Hello" --body "Email content here"

Send with attachment

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py send --to "recipient@example.com" --subject "Report" --body "See attached" --attachment "/path/to/file.pdf"

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py search --from "sender@example.com"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py search --since "2026-01-01"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py search --subject "meeting" --since "2026-02-01" --limit 5

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py folders

Read from a specific folder

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/qqmail.py inbox --folder "Sent Messages" --limit 5

Error Handling

• If authentication fails: verify QQMAIL_USER and QQMAIL_AUTH_CODE are set correctly.
• If IMAP is not enabled: guide the user to enable it in QQ Mail settings.
• Connection errors may indicate network issues or proxy requirements.

Notes

• QQ Mail IMAP server: imap.qq.com:993 (SSL)
• QQ Mail SMTP server: smtp.qq.com:465 (SSL)
• All scripts use Python 3 standard library only (no pip install needed).
• Email content is decoded with charset detection for proper Chinese display.
