Here's a one that I used on my home intranet ;-)

def __init__(self):
self.unseen_messages= 0
self.new_messages = 0
def __repr__(self):
return "Unseen: %i, New: %i" % (self.unseen_messages, self.new_messages)

result = ImapCheckResult()
imap = imaplib.IMAP4(host)
imap.login(user, passwd)
typ, data = imap.select(foldername, 1)
typ, data = imap.search(None, 'UNSEEN')
result.unseen_messages = len(data[0].split())
typ, data = imap.search(None, 'NEW')
result.new_messages = len(data[0].split())
imap.logout()
return result
def main():
print check_imap_folder("myhost", "myuser", "mypass", "INBOX")
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
