Basic implementation of a Rust client for the Gmail email server.
The main idea for the client is to expose the basic operations of getting emails in descending order, getting their contents and send emails.
It is mainly used as the "server-side" of the nvim-gmail Neovim plugin.
The client offers 4 basic methods:
use rs_gmail::{inbox::GmailInbox, GmailError};
fn main() -> Result<(), GmailError> {
//Create a client
let mut client = GmailInbox::new("Your username".to_string(), "Your pass".to_string());
//Get the last 20 emails of the Gmail Inbox in descending date order
let (email_headers, offset) = client.get_last_emails()?;
//Get the body of the last received email
let last_email_body = client.get_email_info(email_headers[0].uid)?;
//Get the next 20 emails of the inbox
let (more_email_headers, new_offset) = client.get_more_emails(offset)?;
Ok(())
}NOTE: In case 2-Step Verification is enabled for Gmail, you need to generate an
application password and use
that as your password when using GmailInbox::new().
