[ANN] gmailer 0.0.1 (plain text)

[Park Heesob]

Hi,

Sorry for previous encoding message.

I'm happy to announce first version of GMailer, a class for interface to
Google's webmail service.

You can fetching gmails

require "gmailer"

gmail = GMailer.new
gmail.setLoginInfo(name, pwd)
if gmail.connect
gmail.fetchBox(GM_LABEL, "my_label", 0)
snapshot = gmail.getSnapshot(GM_LABEL)
if snapshot
puts "Total # of conversations of my_label = " +
snapshot.box_total.to_s

end
gmail.disconnect
end

Sending new gmails

require "gmailer"

gmail = GMailer.new
gmail.setLoginInfo(name, pwd)
if gmail.connect
to = "(e-mail address removed), my_friend@his_company.com, (e-mail address removed)"
cc = "(e-mail address removed)"
subj = "Hello There!"
message = "Hi...\n\nBlah blah blah~..."
attachments = ["./my_pic.jpg", "./my_cv.txt"]
gmail.send(to, subj, message, cc, '','', '', attachments, false, '')
end

Or playing around with contact list

require "gmailer"

gmail = GMailer.new
gmail.setLoginInfo(name, pwd)
if gmail.connect
gmail.fetchBox(GM_CONTACT, "freq", 0)
snapshot = gmail.getSnapshot(GM_CONTACT)
puts "Your frequently used addresses:"
snapshot.contacts.each { |item|
puts "Name: " + item["name"] + ", Email: " + item["email"]
}
end

Enjoy!

Hi Park,

Thanks for the quick release ;-)

I had a problem with this "attachment" part:

=20
require "gmailer"
=20
gmail =3D GMailer.new
gmail.setLoginInfo(name, pwd)
if gmail.connect
to =3D "(e-mail address removed), my_friend@his_company.com, (e-mail address removed)"
cc =3D "(e-mail address removed)"
subj =3D "Hello There!"
message =3D "Hi...\n\nBlah blah blah~..."
attachments =3D ["./my_pic.jpg", "./my_cv.txt"]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On Windows, with ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32], I had a problem
sending binary attachments. Also, I saw a lot of debug stuff flying acros=
s=20
the screen.
=20

gmail.send(to, subj, message, cc, '','', '', attachments, false, = '')
end

=20
<snip>

I fixed the first problem by changing line 466 of your gmailer.rb from th=
is:

content =3D File.open(f){ |c| c.read }

to this:

content =3D File.open(f,"rb"){ |c| c.read }

And I fixed the second problem by commenting out line 478 of gmailer.rb:

np.set_debug_output($stderr)

No big deal ... thought I would share it with you. You will surely have
a better way to change it

Thanks for your fix.

I updated the CVS and the release version.

It works with proxy, just by adding in initialize():

<code to detect proxy>
@http_conn = proxy?(Net::HTTP:roxy(proxy, port))Net::HTTP)

and using @http_conn.new(...) instead of Net::HTTP.new(...) later on.

Thanks for your code.
I will add it in the next version.
I know Google does not endorse third party applications meant to interact
with Gmail.
But, AFAIK Goolgle also made the Gmail Notifier with Gmail Agent
API(http://johnvey.com/features/gmailapi/)
