gmaild

GmailD is a daemon that will execute commands each time that you receive an email in gmail.

For example, gmaild -e 'echo hello' will execute 'echo hello' each time that you receive an email.

To set this up, you will need to to create a credientials file in your home directory, following the directions here. After that, it will poll for events from gmail and execute given command.

Should I use this?

Absolutely not. For a while my use-case was doing something like gmaild -e 'notify-send "received email"', which, like, works, but also isn't the most helpful thing in the world. Currently this doesn't pass anything about the message to the command, which was something that I always planned on doing - like an email CGI interface. Anyways, I haven't gotten that done, the process is kinda crap, and this whole thing is badly implemented.

This was my first effort at learning go, though, and for that it wasn't too bad.
