The example code you've posted for parsing the message:

msg=p.parse(mailFile)

assumes that the message is coming from a file-like object (e.g. if
you're reading the message from a file on disk.)

Because you're reading the message from a POP server what you probably
want to do is join the lines together into a single string:

messagetext = string.join(lines, "\n")

and then use parsestr rather than parse to get your message object:

msg = p.parsestr(messagetext)
