Email Configuration (Important)

Enable Gmail to Send and Receive Emails

To use this app for sending and receiving Gmail, you need to configure Gmail settings:

1. Enable Less Secure App Access: Google requires you to use app-specific passwords for third-party email applications if two-factor authentication is enabled.

   • Visit Google Account Security and enable App Passwords. Generate a one-time app password, which will be used instead of your Gmail password in this app.

2. Enable POP for Receiving Emails:

   • Go to your Gmail settings.
   • Under the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, enable POP Download.
   • Choose to enable POP for all mail or mail that arrives from now on, depending on your preference.

Usage

1. Open the app.
2. To send an email, fill in your Gmail email address, app password, recipient's email, subject, and message body, then click "Send".
3. To check your inbox, enter your Gmail email and app password, and click "Receive". Ensure that POP is enabled in your Gmail account for this feature to work.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• smtplib for sending emails
• poplib for receiving emails
• tkinter for the graphical user interface
