This just polls every x (default 30) seconds; if you use IMAP you can do better with IDLE (e.g. I pipe `fetchmail --check` to something that triggers a sync to immediately get new mails)

    I wonder though if also the Gmail interface supports something like this? It seems it's pretty fast at receiving email.

      There are pub/sub notifications but it's a bit of a pain to get working. You need an HTTP endpoint the server can reach for push notifications, I think, not long polling.

Just have SES put the email in s3, then do stuff.

What tool makes these readme’s for new github repos that are bulletpointed lists with features, always prefixed by an emoji?

  • diggan 3 hours ago

    Not specifically about readmes/GitHub repos, but I've noticed some LLMs like Sonnet and GPT4.1 are really enthusiastic about doing emoji-prefixed lists for some reason.

    AI, I presume (but I’m not sure) that the code “agent” they are using creates it.

Is there any good library or tool that let's me programmatically/easily or semi-automatically delete mail by query in gmail? The built in tools are not good enough. Does Thunderbird work with gmail nowadays?

If I read it right, it's built on Gmail API

Are there any other provider agnostic tools with similar capabilities?

    I guess JMAP was created to also deal with this. I'm not sure how far are we in implementation on clients side.

One step closer to fully closing the loop on using LLMs to automate white collar work.
