POP3 Python Mail Download

[Kevin F]

Having some troubles downloading messages with POP3...

I can connect to the server just fine and list messages without any
problem with the following code:

------------------------
from poplib import *

server = POP3("mail.blue bottle.com")
print server.getwelco me()
print server.user("ne urogasm@bluebot tle.com")
print server.pass_("n eurogasm")

messagesInfo = server.list()[1]
numMessages = len(messagesInf o)

print numMessages
------------------------



However, if I try to actually download the messages themselves, my
python editor highlights 'msgSize' and says "invalid syntax" when I run
the following subsequent lines of code:


------------------------
emails = []
for msg in messagesInfo:
msgNum = int(split(msg, " ")[0]
msgSize = int(split(msg, " ")[1]
if(msgSize < 20000):
messages = server.retr(msg Num)[1]
messages = join(message, "\n")
emails.append(m essage)
------------------------



anyone know what's wrong? thanks.

You have an inconsistent indent in the two lines above. All the lines in
a block must have the same indent (except sub-blocks of course).
