gmail-oauth2-tools VS imapfilter

Shouldn't be _too_ hard to convert your scripts.

I ran into the same problem and one workspace disallows App passwords. You can simply get the OAuth token with a little python script and then use it as the password: https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/blob/master/pyt...

(see for example https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter/issues/186)

I tried to keep dependencies low, and while developing that and testing it I came across sendgmail. sendgmail is a little more polished but has a lot more dependencies, it's also not really setup to be imported into a project and used like a package.

Integrated with OAuth2 and register an app with Google to get a client secret. This should clear that up but honestly it's a hassle to do, I had a similar script (posted my story in another comment) and I always thought of going through and redoing it to authenticate with OAuth but it just seemed like a hassle. I found this which should help. https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/wiki/OAuth2DotPyRunThrough

Fetch https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/blob/e3229155a4037267ce40f1a3a681f53221aa4d8d/python/oauth2.py Store as ~/.mutt/oauth2.py Make it executable

My first real exposure to Lua was as the configuration language of imapfilter. Absolutely loved both.

Use [imapfilter](https://github.com/lefcha/imapfilter) to store the attachment in a local folder and delete/archive the mail. Then use something like [inotify](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify#:~:text=inotify%20(inode%20notify)%20is%20a,reports%20those%20changes%20to%20applications.)%20is%20a,reports%20those%20changes%20to%20applications.)) to run a script that sends the new pdf to the printer

Imapfilter runs lua scripts. Since it's basically just a lua interpreter with a pre-imported library, you can pretty much do any processing you might like, but... IMHO it doesn't seem great: the documentation is so-so, the API is a bit clunky and lacks basic functionality (eg. you have to decode utf8 mime headers yourself) and (personal opinion) writing an imapfilter script is not easier than using an IMAP library in whatever your favorite programming/scripting language might be.

You could look at something like imapfilter. It's designed to do what you want, I think, though I've never used it.

I know this one is an issue, and for that you will want to use an email client with the bridge. I have used a protonmail docker container shenxn/protonmail-bridge-docker with imapfilter to provide client side filtering.

If you can see yourself writing some scripts to clean it up, I can recommend imapfilter as a starting point. I learned enough Lua to be able to use this effectively. The "config" file is actually just a Lua script.

I believe that Google still offers IMAP access (I think you need to set up app passwords, or possibly jump through some OAUTH hoops), letting you use something like imapfilter to set up rules, connecting to Gmail, then doing the filtering.
