Retrieve new emails

I was wondering is there a way to get all unreaded email using Python?
I searched here but all I found was this, but I didn't understand answers.
Could we use imap4 for this?

All I could done was using 

import imaplib

mailserver=imaplib.IMAP4.SSL('imap-mail.outlook.com:993')
mailserver.login('somthing','somthing')
status, count=mailserver.select('inbox')
status, data=mailserver.fetch(count[0], '(UID BODY[TEXT])')

print (data[0][1])

mailserver.close()
mailserver.logout()

and fetch the last email fron inbox like all of the tutorials shows

Since you are looking for only unread messages, you are going to have to search your inbox for the unread messages. More like this:

(status, data) = mail.search(None, '(UNSEEN)')
if status == 'OK':
   for num in data[0].split():
      #do something about your email
