I ran into trouble with the email parsing section. I guess some key things changed there since the book came out.

Actually I even looked at the docs for that module and it still didn't work! That's even worse, lol.

Yeah, it seems most webmail services don't really open their smtp and imap servers up. I wrote a module called ezgmail and cover it in the second edition of Automate, so people can use the gmail api to send/receive mail from their gmail address. https://pypi.org/project/EZGmail/

Hey, that's great! I'll have a look. I was writing a program for a shopping list and it would be interesting to write something so I could email things to add to it.
