self.mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
self.mail.login(self.data["emailUsername"], self.data["emailPassword"])
self.mail.list()
self.mail.select("inbox")
subjectStr = '(HEADER Subject ' + """ + mySubject + """ + ')'
result, UIDemailsWithGivenSubject = self.mail.uid('search', None, subjectStr)
ids_string = UIDemailsWithGivenSubject[0].decode("utf-8")
ids_string_list = ids_string.split(" ")

You can search the selected mailbox like this:
res, data = self.mail.search(None, 'ALL')
Your data will then look something like this: [b'1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12'] where 12 is the UID for the latest email in the selected mailbox. You can now fetch this mail with
self.mail.fetch(data[0].split()[-1], '(RFC822)')
Explanation
IMAP4.search(charset, criterion[, ...]) returns a list of all emails in your current mailbox. They are typically orderd by date with the first one being the oldest.
Provide None for the charset to search for any mail and the criterion is set to All.
See Python imaplib documentation
data[0].split()[-1] returns the last element ([-1]) of your list of mail UIDs
Respond to mail
You are using the IMAP protocol to access a mailserver. IMAP stands for
Internet Message Access Protocol
It is intendet for message access, not to send mail. You need SMTP to send messages. Take a look at this question.
