It lets you connect to mailboxes, wait for incoming messages, extract and verify email content, and inspect multipart messages\u2014all within Robot Framework's keyword-driven test syntax. The library handles the low-level IMAP protocol details so test authors can focus on email verification logic.\n\nTypical use is in end-to-end testing workflows where your application sends transactional emails and you need to verify they arrived with correct content. It depends on robotframework as its primary runtime dependency, plus future for Python 2/3 compatibility and pysocks for proxy support. The package is a fork of an earlier robotframework-imaplibrary project and remains in beta status.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using Robot Framework for test automation and need to verify email-driven workflows. Install friction is low and the Apache 2.0 license is permissive. However, note that maintenance is aging (534 days since last release) and Python version support is unclear\u2014verify compatibility with your target Python version before committing to it in a production test suite."},"id":"robotframework-imaplibrary2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-imaplibrary2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-imaplibrary2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/robotframework-imaplibrary2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"robotframework-imaplibrary2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A IMAP email testing library for Robot Framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":78969,"position":14388,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.11"}
