Inspiration
This is for one of MLH's Local Hack Day Week-Long Challenges: Automate a Daily Task. Checking multiple email inboxes is a mundane task, especially for work-related inboxes that aren't synced to your local machine. If new emails don't come frequently, why not just run a script that returns the number of new/unread emails to save time for unnecessary logins?
What it does
Run it on the terminal and it will return "New or Unread emails: #"
How we built it
Just python.
Learning
- Gmail API docs for python was not easy to understand.
- Use pip3 if using Python3
What's next
Currently only fetching from 1 inbox. Code can be modified to simultaneously fetch from multiple gmail accounts.
