RainLoop Mail Forwarder

This Python script automates the process of forwarding unread emails from a RainLoop webmail interface to another email address using Selenium WebDriver.

Features

• Automated Login: Logs into RainLoop using provided credentials.
• Unread Email Detection: Finds emails marked as unread (using the .unseen CSS class).
• Forwarding: Initiates the forwarding process for each unread email by clicking the forward button within the email list item.
• Form Population: Fills the "To" field in the forwarding form with a specified email address.
• Sending: Submits the forwarding form to send the email.
• Headless Operation: Runs in headless mode by default, suitable for background execution.
• Periodic Execution: Designed to be run periodically (e.g., via cron) to check for new emails.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• selenium
• webdriver-manager
• Chrome or Chromium browser installed (for chromedriver managed by webdriver-manager)

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the script.
2. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   (Ensure requirements.txt contains selenium and webdriver-manager as specified earlier).

Configuration

1. Edit the script (mail.py):

   • Set the login_url to your RainLoop instance (e.g., https://your-webmail-domain.com).
   • Set the username and password for your RainLoop account.
   • Set the yandex_email (or any other email address) to which you want to forward the emails.
   • Adjust the chrome_options if needed (currently configured for headless operation).
   • Adjust the wait timeout values if necessary for your network/system speed.

2. (Optional) Create a cron job:

   • To run the script every 10 minutes, add the following line to your crontab (crontab -e):

     */10 * * * * /path/to/your/python /path/to/this/script/mail.py >> /path/to/logfile.log 2>&1

     Replace /path/to/your/python, /path/to/this/script/mail.py, and /path/to/logfile.log with the actual paths on your system.

Usage

Direct Execution

Run the script directly using Python:

python mail.py
