Gmail Newsletter Parser

How this works?

This fetches all your mails from a particular newsletter(probably an email) and stores them as text file.

Why this?

Well, I am an avid reader of my favourite newsletters and I would not like to miss any of my newsletters that brings in interesting contents adding a little joy in this prosaic life. It helps me sort and allows me to read in my domain of interest.

How to Run?

• Put your email, password and the mail of your daily newsletter subscription in the space provided in the python script.
• If everything works fine, you should see the body of your mails coming in as text files in your current directory.
• Else, make sure
  • You have turned on access to less secure apps in your google account.(https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255)
  • To enable IMAP in the settings section of your gmail account.

TODO

• Output to some fancy pdf files(for better readability)
• Extract images and add text hyperlinks rather than whole links in the file
