In any case, if Google breaks all advertized other ways of transferring a Gmail account's incoming mail into a free MUA, scraping would be MUCH better than no way at all. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
