• ./scripts/gmail_bulk_label.py - Bulk labeling
• ./scripts/gmail_create_filters.py - Create filters

Quick Reference

# Check unread across all accounts
python3 ./scripts/gmail_unified.py --query "is:unread" --limit 50

# Check specific account only
python3 ./scripts/gmail_unified.py --query "is:unread" --account yourcompany

# List registered accounts
python3 ./scripts/gmail_unified.py --accounts

# Label and archive emails
python3 ./scripts/gmail_unified.py --query "from:notifications@" --label "Notifications" --archive

# Mark as read
python3 ./scripts/gmail_unified.py --query "from:noreply@" --mark-read

Account Registry

Account	Email	Credentials	Token
youruser	[e-mail]	credentials.json	token_youruser.json
yourcompany	[e-mail]	credentials_yourcompany.json	token_yourcompany.json

Troubleshooting Auth Errors

"Token file not found"

python3 ./scripts/gmail_multi_auth.py --account yourcompany --email [e-mail]

"invalid_scope: Bad Request"

rm token_youruser.json
python3 ./scripts/gmail_multi_auth.py --account youruser --email [e-mail]

"Failed to authenticate" Check that credentials.json exists in root directory.
