Gmail supports pop and smtp access. See http://docs.python.org/lib/module-poplib.html and http://docs.python.org/lib/module-smtplib.html, as well as http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13273 and http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287 Here's a simple pop script: import poplib me = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' p = '*******' # put your real password of course.. host ='pop.gmail.com' pop = poplib.POP3_SSL(host) try: pop.user(me) pop.pass_(p) message_count, mailbox_size = pop.stat() # Do some more stuff here... finally: pop.quit() print message_count, mailbox_size And a simple smtp script: import smtplib me = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' p = '*******' # put your real password of course.. server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) try: server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.ehlo() server.login(me, p) # Do some more stuff here... finally: server.close() HTH, ~Simon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
