Gmail Inbox Management

This Python script uses the simplegmail package to mark an email as important or put it in the trash based on the sender's email address. The sender's address is compared to a list of emails that you have saved in a CSV file. The script has you to input an age range for the emails. The script will look for emails older than a given number of days and newer than a given number of days.

  • Trashes all other emails
  • Counts the number of emails marked as important and trashed
