Email Sender and Receiver

This project consists of two Python scripts: an email sender and an email receiver. The email sender script allows users to compose and send emails, while the email receiver script continuously monitors an email inbox and notifies the user when new emails are received.

Features

  • Email Sender:

    • Graphical user interface (GUI) application built with Tkinter.
    • Allows users to input email credentials, recipient email address, subject, message body, and optionally attach files.
    • Sends emails via Gmail's SMTP server using the smtplib library.

  • Email Receiver:

    • Utilizes the IMAP protocol to connect to an email account and check for unseen emails in the inbox.
    • Runs continuously in a loop, periodically checking for new emails.
    • Displays desktop notifications using the plyer library when new emails are received.
    • Presents email content (sender, subject, and body) in a Tkinter message box.
    • Saves email attachments to the current directory and displays their filenames in the email content.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • tkinter library (included in standard Python distribution)
  • plyer library (install using pip install plyer)
