Authentication

Matheus,
There is libgmail @ http://libgmail.sourceforge.net/
Here is the excerpt from their page.
"""
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 at 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
------------------------------------
I tried it before and it didn't work, it said login failed. Perhaps it
will work for you. Looking at the source is always a GoodThing
(especially if you give your password to a program you just downloaded
as an input...).
