Need help please, fixing invalid syntax error.

Code: Select all

from imap_tools import MailBox, A
 
with MailBox('imap.mail.yahoo.com').login('name@yahoo.com', 'PWD', 'Bulk') as mailbox:
#    DELETE messages that contains 'a@*.*' in body from Bulk folder
    mailbox.delete(mailbox.fetch(A(body='a@*.*')))
