One thing that would be cool is a more advanced API. Something along the lines of this:

Module GMailer
   # the main class.
   class Connection
     # returns the messages that match the filters
     # or all messages if no filter is provided
     def messages (filters = {}); end

     # returns all labels
     def labels; end

     # returns the label that has the name "name"
     # as a Label object
     def label (name); end

     # etc etc
   end

   # a list of messages. should be sortable and searchable.
   class MessageList; end

   # a single message
   class Message
     attr_reader :subject, :body, :to, :from, :date

     # applies a label to the message.
     # can take either a string or a Label object as argument
     def apply_label (label); end

     def remove_label; end

     def archive; end

     def unarchive; end

     def archived?; end

     def mark_read; end

     def mark_unread; end

     def read?; end

     def report_spam; end

     def report_not_spam; end

     def spam?; end

     def trash; end

     def untrash; end

     # etc etc
   end

   class Label
     # you get the picture
   end

   def connect (*args, &block)
     Connection.new(*args, &block)
   end
end

GMailer::connect(username, password) do |gmail|
   gmail.messages(:unread).each do |msg|
     puts "subject: " + msg.subject
     puts "from: " + msg.from
   end
end

Thanks for sharing this as a GEM.

I am having some troubles getting it to work. I installed gmailer v0.8 but I can't figure out how to "require" it. Am I missing something obvious?

$ gem list | grep gmail

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin7.8.0]
$ gem --version
0.8.10

         from (irb):1

LoadError: No such file to load -- GMailer

That should of course be

Thanks for suggestions.
I will try to satisfy you in the next release.:slight_smile:

In the mean time, you can use this for fetching each message content:

g.messages(:standard=>'all').each {|m|
    puts "ID: #{m['id']} Subject: #{m['subject']} / Snippet: #{m['snippet']}"
    g.fetch(:conversation=>m['id']).conv.each {|c|
     puts "From: #{c['sender']} #{c['sender_email']}"
     puts "Subject: #{c['subject']}"
     puts "Full Message Body: #{c['body']}"
     }
}

The require_gem seemed to work (it returned true), but I still had the error below. No worries though, I just downloaded the rb code and included it directly - it works great now!

NameError: uninitialized constant GMailer
