Curl not marking mail as read!!
 

Hi All,

I am trying to write a script which respond to all the mails received on my
gmail account. I am able to get the sender's email address successfully
using curl (check below). But the problem here is, this is not marking the
mail as read and/or it is fetching all the email addresses everytime the
script runs.

Is there anyway i can make curl to fetch only the new mails and once only.

*#!/bin/bash*
*
*
*var=$(curl -u gmail_username:gmail_password --silent '
https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom' | tr -d '
' | awk -F '<entry>'
'{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | sed -n
's/<title>(.*)</title.*email>(.*)</email>.*/2 /p')*
*
*
*for i in $var*
*do*
*echo $i*
*done*


Please suggest.

Thanks for help.
Raj

It looks like the atom feed is read-only, you'd have to sign in and
mark the messages as read if you wanted to remove them from the feed.
You'll either have to keep track of the messages you've sent a message
to, or use something other than the read-only feed to get a list of
email addresses. How about writing a script that uses POP or IMAP?

Thanks for your response. Well I tried writing a script in perl using
POP3client module. The below script works but I am not able to fetch the
senders email address. ("From" tag prints the name of the sender, not the
mail :( )

*#!/usr/bin/perl -w*
*use strict;*
*use Mail::POP3Client;*
*
*
*my $user = 'username';*
*my $pass = 'password';*
*
*
*my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client(*
* USER => $user,*
* PASSWORD => $pass,*
* HOST => "pop.gmail.com",*
* PORT => 995,*
* USESSL => 'true',*
*);*
*print "Content-type: text/html

";*
*my $count = $pop->Count();*
*if ($count < 0) {*
* print $pop->Message();*
*} elsif ($count == 0) {*
* print "no messages
";*
*} else {*
*# print "$count messsages

";*
*
*
* for my $i (1 .. $count) {*
* foreach ($pop->Head($i)) {*
* print "$_
" if /^(From):/i;*
* }*
* print "
";*
* }*
*}*
*
*
*$pop->Close();*
