I have similar problem whenever I try to read emails. I am using python 3.9
The full error message:

>> print(mail.unread())

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 mail.unread()

~/Downloads/outlook-master/outlook.py in unread(self)
154
155 def unread(self):
--> 156 list = self.unreadIds()
157 latest_id = list[-1]
158 return self.getEmail(latest_id)

~/Downloads/outlook-master/outlook.py in unreadIds(self)
132 def unreadIds(self):
133 r, d = self.imap.search(None, "UNSEEN")
--> 134 list = d[0].split(' ')
135 return list
136

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Thanks

每当我尝试阅读电子邮件时，我都会遇到类似的问题。我正在使用 python 3.9 完整的错误信息：

>> print(mail.unread())

类型错误回溯（最近通话最后一个） 中 ----> 1个mail.unread（）

~/Downloads/outlook-master/outlook.py in unread(self) 154 155 def unread(self): --> 156 list = self.unreadIds() 157 latest_id = list[-1] 158 return self.getEmail(latest_id) )

~/Downloads/outlook-master/outlook.py in unreadIds(self) 132 def unreadIds(self): 133 r, d = self.imap.search(None, "UNSEEN") --> 134 list = d[0] .split(' ') 135 返回列表 136

类型错误：需要类似字节的对象，而不是“str”

谢谢

you shuld ues py2.7
or
like this
list = d[0] .split()

replace all split like this.

Yes, it is about the version of Python. If u are at 3.x, u can also use 'decode()' to covert byte to str.
