def gmail_unread_count(user, password):
    """
        Takes a Gmail user name and password and returns the unread
        messages count as an integer.
    """
    # Build the authentication string
    b64auth = base64.encodestring("%s:%s" % (user, password))

    handle.close()

    # Get the "fullcount" xml object
    count_obj = dom.getElementsByTagName("fullcount")[0]

print unreadMail

TIPs:

gmail_user, gmail_pass gmail 帳號密碼

注意: 如果 Google 帳戶有啟用 2-steps authentication，上述的密碼必須使用 Google APP 專用密碼
