Can anyone create a program which will check a Gmail account for new emails from a particular address and save the contents of the email into a text document? Emails from this address are coming couple of times a day. Whenever a new email is coming, the contents of the text document should be replaced. The program needs to read only the latest email from this address. This need to work as long as my computer is onine even if Outlook or Gmail is closed. I would have preferred this to work without Outlook script involved at all, unless if there is no other option.

Nice to meet you on freelancer. My name is Da Zhang. I am an experienced C# programmer with about 5 years experiences. About the requirement. I have 3 ideas, I can do 2 of them. Idea#1. Use GMAIL API. I don't have experience. Idea#2. Use Outlook. Let the program communicate with Outlook through COM component. It doesn't need outlook opening, but need it installed on your windows PC. * The gmail account will need to added to your outlook. * It's better if the account is default account of outlook. * Programming language is C#, don't need to use third part library. Idea#3. Use Selenium to do web automation. * Programming language is C#, as I said, need to use Selenium Framework. But it's free. * Selenium will open a browser, then control the browser, I will use ChromeDriver. So you need to install Chrome on your PC. * The browser window will keep opening, the program will check the window in a regular basis, such as per minute. I did 3 bots with Selenium, please see my profile, the recently 3 projects are all done with Selenium. I am looking to hear from you. I can start immediately! Looking to talk with you. Thanks a lot!

Will do this by writing a daemon script work as background process which will fetch new email But few questions before we move forward? Can anyone create a program which will check a Gmail account for new emails from a particular address and save the contents of the email into a text document? --i understand to save new emails content in text document , but do tell me the directory structure or will it be dynamic? Emails from this address are coming couple of times a day. Whenever a new email is coming, the contents of the text document should be replaced. --email content should be replaced with what and where is will be later saved? I hope you will reply ASAP. Thanks

Hi there, I am an experienced java developer. I can help you with this one, without invoking outlook or something like this, just using plain java. However, I do have some questions: - how often the application will run? should it run by a specific schedule? - what happens with the txt file in which the emails would be dumped? - the txt file should have a specific format? - why do you need this kind of application? What's the business case behind it? Thank you, Ioan
