More Pythonic sweetness. This library provides Pythonic access to your GMail account. The example exports to mbox format. Sounds like a great start to an offline synchronization tool.

UPDATE:

I received an update via the Python Announce list of changes to libgmail today and then I checked my mail and the author was kind enough to have sent me the update directly. Follower is doing some exciting things with libgmail. In this latest update to version 0.0.6 he added:

* Demo FTP proxy enables marked Gmail message attachments to be
download via FTP.

* Implemented sending & receiving of message attachments.

* Updated SMTP Proxy demo to handle sending attachments.

* Added ‘getMessagesByQuery’ function.

This brings the the number of functions provided out of the box in the form of examples to three: export to mbox from GMail, download attachments from GMail via FTP Proxy, and SMTP proxy allowing you to send mail from a standard mail program through GMail including attachments. The examples included in libgmail do more than 99% of the GMail utilities released to date.

Of course, being an API, your imagination and coding skills really are the limits to what you can do with this ball of code. Thanks Follower!
