A Python interface to interact with gmail.

Project description

A Python interface for sending, reading, and deleting emails

Functions:

  • readmail - read an email
  • sendmail - send an email
  • sendmailobj - send an EmailMessage object with changable specs.
  • forward - forward an EmailMessage object with changable specs.

Note that there are a few minor bugs:
  • If you save an EmailMessage object by using .save(),
    It will have an attachment with a filename such as 000217.
  • To be released in next release:

    • forwardmail - forward an email to somebody else
    • minor bug fixes
    • Usage:

          >>> import emailpy
          >>> sent = emailpy.sendmail("fromemail@gmail.com", "fromemail_password",
                          toemails = ["toemail1@gmail.com", "toemail2@gmail.com")
                          subject = 'Subject', body = 'Body',
                          attachments = ['file.txt', 'picture.png'])
          >>> # send an email from
          >>> # "fromemail@gmail.com" and password "fromemail_password" to
          >>> # "toemail1@gmail.com" and "toemail2@gmail.com" with subject
          >>> # "Subject" and body "Body" and retreive the message into the variable
          >>> # "sent". 
          >>> data = emailpy.readmail("toemail1@gmail.com", "toemail1_password") # read
          >>> # email "toemail1@gmail.com" with password "toemail1_password"
          >>> data = data[0] # get first email from EmailMessageList object
          >>> data.body # "Body"
          >>> data.subject # "Subject"
          >>> data.html # "Body"
          >>> data.sender # "fromemail@gmail.com"
          >>> data.recvers # ["toemail1@gmail.com", "toemail2@gmail.com"]
          >>> data.show() # 
          >>> data.attachments # >> # "picture.png"]>
          >>> data.attachments.download() # save attached files to computer
          >>> data.attachments.show() # show attached files
          >>> # WARNING: when using data.attachments.show(), you must first call
          >>> # data.attachments.download()
          >>> data.is_attachment # True
          >>> data.delete() # delete email
          >>> emailpy.sendmailobj(sent, attachments = ['file2.txt']) # send the sent
          >>> # variable as an email, but replacing the attachments list with
          >>> # ['file2.txt'].
          >>> emailpy.forward(data, 'forwardtome@yahoo.com', body = 'hi') # forward
          >>> # the read email to "forwardtome@yahoo.com", but replacing the body
          >>> # with "hi". NOTE that this only works on read emails. So, you cannot
          >>> # use the emailpy.forward() method on sent or forwarded emails.
