Hi, have you tried combining the two search criteria together? Something like this should work:

messages = client.search(['SINCE', date_today, 'UNSEEN'])

Also, in case you you don't want the fetch to affect the \Seen flag you might want to use BODY.PEEK[] instead of RFC822. For example:

client_data = client.fetch(messages, "BODY.PEEK[]")

If you use qq mail, you can take a look on your mail setting by 「设置」➡️「账户」➡️「收取选项」, then select 「全部」(the default is 最近30天).
