Selective import of Gmail e-mails by date

September 22, 20232 yr

Greetings, all:

Currently, we have a script that imports Gmails for processing but it has a really annoying "limitation"--it's an all-or-nothing proposition so it imports all of the e-mails from the mailbox; there are many thousands of them, so it takes hours to download them all into a FileMaker database...whereupon I parse the ones I need and delete the rest. Ugh. Huge waste of time and resources.

I'm just wondering if there's a way for FileMaker Pro to interact with Gmail so it "grabs" only the ones I want directly from the mail server; ideally, a script would run daily (via PSoS) to download that day's e-mails. Another possibility is to create a rule within Gmail to move existing e-mails from the inbox into another folder after one day, but users of the Gmail account "don't want the hassle" of having to navigate elsewhere for e-mails. (Yeah, I know--dont say it.)

TIA for your replies.
