Need support for Google Apps.

Folder counts

Owen Taylor — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:19:46 -0000

Here's a real simple patch to add:

GmailAccount.getFolderCounts()

Which returns a dict of folder_name =>count. The "folders" here are a combination of the labels from
getLabelNames() and the "standard folders".

getFolderCount(folder_name) would be another possible
API for the same code.

This was desired to implement the mockup for
a desktop mail widget in:

Add convenience functions to strip HTML

Magnus Therning — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:40:26 -0000

In GmailThread several attributes are HTML (subject, author, etc). It would be convenient to have a function in libgmail for tanslating the HTML to “regular text”.

Marking thread/message unread/read

Magnus Therning — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:37:00 -0000

As soon as libgmail downloads a message it is marked as read in the web interface, but the API currently seems to lack a way of returning a thread/message to an unread state.

Attach list of files instead of a file

cci[RR]us — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:53:37 -0000

Currently, the API only attaches one file to one draft email. I made some changes to attach a "list of filenames" to a draft email. This lets the API gain flexibility and extensibility.

Pls kindly consider. Thanks!

pointer to sent message

xiaoruoruo — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 14:56:43 -0000

After libgmail sent a message, it had to run a query if one want some actions to be done on it(delete, forward, apply labels,...). Will it be possible if SendMessage can return a kind of pointer that can be used directly by other actions?

Anyway, 3kx for this great package!

want to delete threads

Andy Grover — Thu, 25 May 2006 23:43:20 -0000

I want to be able to delete threads. I have all mails
from a high volume maillist labeled. I want to purge
all these emails. I can use libgmail to list all
threads with that label, but it can't delete them.

Thanks.

Need way to manipulate a large number of messages at once

Shlomi Fish — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 17:09:01 -0000

Hi!

At the moment, one can only delete only one message at
the time. However, this is time consuming, and Google
will eventually block your HTTP requests.

The gmail.com HTTP interface allows to act on more than
one message at once. This was done (as an effect of my
request) in the Mail::Webmail::Gmail module:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mail-Webmail-Gmail/

Which is at the moment broken due to a change in the
gmail login semantics.

Please implement this feature, because there's one
label where I have over 8,000 messages that I'd like to
delete.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish
