python script for importing maildirs to gmail
Thursday, November 5th, 2009In fact the script in question should work also for mboxes and for other SMTP servers, but maildir-to-gmail was the problem I was trying to solve.
The most promising starting point was an old script by Mark Lyon. After a little rejiggering so I could see what error was coming back from Google, I made a couple of more tweaks to use TLS & to take the user’s password.
If anyone’s interested in what seemed to me a strange hoop to hop through before connecting, check the src.
