How do I automate reading and searching emails via IMAP?

Can I send emails through SMTP using Python standard library modules?

Manage email folders and automate inbox workflows by programmatically moving, deleting, or archiving messages across IMAP connections. This streamlines inbox operations by handling bulk folder organization and filtering unread messages automatically.
