The following code logs into an account, retrieves a list of
threads, displays information about them and displays the source of the
individual messages.

import libgmail
ga = libgmail.GmailAccount(”google@gmail.com”, “mymailismypass”)
ga.login()
folder = ga.getMessagesByFolder(’inbox’)
for thread in folder:

print thread.id, len(thread), thread.subject
for msg in thread:
print ” “, msg.id, msg.number, msg.subject
print msg.source#can not send mail out:By default, Django assumes that the SMTP server is running locally.

If you don’t have one running locally, you need to set EMAIL_HOST and
EMAIL_PORT in your settings.py file to a valid SMTP server.
EMAIL_HOST = “mailhost.company.com” (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/e2e5da1a395bbaa5/22c13145abf042a0?hl=en#22c13145abf042a0)

#Je suis en train de faire un project pour envoyer email sur
Django, je utilise le send_mail function de Python, mais il y a une
erreur (Je t’ai envoyee par email), je dois setup le SMPT serveur sur
mon ordinadeur?

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
email = ’something@hotmail.com’
username = ‘xiaodong’
password = ‘xiaodong’
new_user = User.objects.create_user(username, password, email)
new_user.save()

This is *probably* a bug in python-libgmail, which should be fixed in 0.1.6.1 (Gutsy has 0.1.5.1, latest version is not 0.1.7)
