You got a really great tutorial here. And also taught me Python, by the way!

It’s nice doing code since I’ve been an avid coder in the past days, but
nothing inspired for long time. Email fetching and perhaps visualization
is one thing that interests me. With this tut, I got the Python basics as well.

Thanks!

Yes. the below code will get the very first mail in your gmail inbox.

from email.parser import HeaderParser

data = M.FETCH(1, ‘(RFC822)’)
header_data = data[1][0][1]
parser = HeaderParser()
msg = parser.parsestr(header_data)

print msg['From']
print msg['To']
print msg['Subject']

# get content
for part in msg.walk():
print part.get_content_type()
print part.get_payload()

hope this help.

Do you have a method to retrieve the following from an email message:

1) subject
2) author
3) message of the email

Thanks

Great article, one code typo…

def logout(): should probably be def logout(self):

What would be nice is how to use the gmail api to activate some of the options like forwarding.

I would like to have a cron that activate the forwarding of gmail emails to my work account that is link to my blackberry in the evening when I am commuting home.

Some examples on how to play with the API would be beneficial.
