Are there any gmail imap golang WORKING sample ?

[alpri...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone

It's a bit shame but i cannot find any WORKING sample to get imap access to gmail account.

google.com/p/go-imap/go1 stopped working couple months ago, github.com/NerdGGuy/go-imap cannot work as well...

News to me. What about it isn't working?

[Alexander Prihodko]

Hello Maxim

Slightly modified my code to join it to single file and remove credentials (attached). It was working before :-(

It authenticates, but unable to pull messages.

$ go run check_mailbox_imap.go 

Server says hello: Gimap ready for requests from xxx.xx.xx.xx v??????????????.42

Mailbox status:

<nil>panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

[signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x1 pc=0x80491f0]

goroutine 1 [running]:

main.CheckMailBox(0x81b5f38, 0x5, 0x81ccf88, 0x14, 0x81c1288, ...)

        /home/al/workspace/go/src/scripts/amx/check_mailbox_imap.go:81 +0x400

main.main()

        /home/al/workspace/go/src/scripts/amx/check_mailbox_imap.go:33 +0x53

goroutine 2 [syscall]:

exit status 2

Any ideas? Than you!

The line numbers in the stack trace don't match the attached file, but
I'll assume that 81 refers to "return c.Mailbox.Messages, nil". It
probably panics because c.Mailbox is nil at that point, perhaps
because the Select command failed. You need to check for errors to
figure out what the problem is. Turning on protocol logging is also
helpful.

You can run my demo script with your gmail account to verify that the
package is working:

Thank you for the answer.

Package definitely works for me. 

My problem is in gmail label's name. Somewhat i cannot reach [GMAIL]/Spam folder.

But it's not about golang and imap implementation which works perfectly.

Thank s a lot!

If anyone arrives at this in 2015, for connecting in Gmail I had two surprises:

1- Must use app specific password

2- Imap address must be imap.gmail.com:993

The preferred method to login to Gmail's IMAP & SMTP server is with SASL XOAUTH2. You should use it instead of app-specific passwords.
