README
A simple Ruby program to monitor an mail account on gmail.com through IMAP and send response automatically.
Make sure you have done following to the mail account to monitor.
1. Enable IMAP (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/fwdandpop)
2. DISABLED 2 step verification for the mail account. (https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/security)
3. Turn "Allow less secure apps" option to "ON" at the same page as 2.
4. Try lanching the responder, it will fail with something like below:
`in `get_tagged_response': Unknown command g188mb26130086qkb (Net::IMAP::BadResponseError) `
5. Visit https://g.co/allowaccess to allow access, and restart the responder.
Gmail has limits on total mail sent per day. For production, we should use 3rd party services, say, Mandrill.
