    email="[e-mail]",
    password="your_password"
)

async def main():
    client = MailStreamClient(config)
    await client.connect()

    # Subscribe to new emails
    listener = client.subscribe()
    
    # Process emails from listener
    while True:
        mail = await listener.get()
        await process_email(mail)

    # Close connection
    await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())
