mailStats

There are a lot of tools/projects that provide some statistics about email but all of the web ones require that you give full access to your mailbox.

This is a series of tools that downloads a set of mail from a gmail inbox and then runs some basic statistics on the resulting email database.

First you need to set up the config file by registering an application with google and getting a client id and a client secret: https://code.google.com/apis/console/. See imap_auth.py to see how the config file should be formatted.

After this file has been created:

• Running main.py downloads your mailbox and then uses python multi-threading to run a series of map reduce queries to generate basic email stats. (and some fun ones)
• Running generateSite.py generates an email.js file which can be used in conjunction with graphView.html to see d3 views of the downloaded emails.
