Command-Line Gmail User Interface

The Gmail user interface is very nice, no doubt. However, sometimes, it's a bit too slow (especially on older computers) and inefficient for just sending a quick message. So, I decided to write a simple command-line interface for reading and sending messages. It's extremely flexible, so programmers are welcome to add onto it.

The current release is just a test. It only supports sending email and checking the number of unread messages. You will need libgmail installed. Download the script here. See some sample output here. See the original blog post here.

Seeing as Gmail now supports IMAP, I might switch this client over to use that.
