I am looking for help understanding a Python script. I have never used
python before, though I have a bit of experience with a few other
langudges and a general appreciation of the concepts of computer
programming.

Specifically, I want a free, publicly available script to be changed
to suit my needs. The reason I want this is to further my
understanding of the Python programming languidge- I have no intention
of using the script in violation of any particular terms of service
(allthough I will need it to precisely suit my hyperthetical needs).

The script in question is called gmail.py[1][2]. I want the script to
be modified so that it will login with the username of
EXAMPLE@GMAIL.COM and the password EXAMPLE, and then download every
email message (inbox, sent mail, everything) so that it can be
imported into Outlook.

I want the script to be supplied in a form that I could
hyperthetically just upload it to my server and execute it - no hassle
or further work required on my part.

Hoping for this to be done ASAP.

Cheers,
ukc

Or point me in the direction of a similar, easier to use script that
fulfils the hyperthetical needs described above.

(PS, apologies for my spelling...)

reason, I'll accept an answer as a comment from anyone (i.e.
non-researchers as well) and give the $3 to a chartiy of your choice,
posting the reciept here of course.
