#How to set up Create a file called gmailvaraibles.py and create these variables mylogin = "your@gmailusername" mypassword = "yourpassword" furl = "https://APIKEY:[email protected]/2010-04-01/Accounts/YOURACCID/Messages.json" payload = {'From': '+SOMENUMBERSHERE', 'To': '+YOURPHONENUMBER'} Replace your phone number and twilio number in the above obviously, and you're ready to go.

#What does it do? The idea is that once every 6 hours with a CRONJOB this script will allow you to receive one or more SMSs with the titles of all your new emails

If you want to read an email you reply to the SMS with a number and you can get the full body of the email back.

Simple right?

#Cool I like the idea - What works? It works for GMail and Gmail business only for now.

Once you run the script or as part of scheduled job with cronjob (like I do), it will automatically check for fresh new emails.

If succesful in finding fresh emails, it will email you a list of email subjects to ur given number in the main.py file. Once an email has been detected as "fresh" twimail will label it as dispatched by applying a tag to it. This way you don't get fresh new emails twice.

#What is planned? Retrieve the text body of an email through SMS by giving an index to each email's subject you received through SMS.

#Why this? Sometimes you're in a different country with no wi-fi for a few hours or days and you still want to see if there are any crucial emails that you want to inspect
