Checking email account (Gmail)

[mk21 1]

This is probably a stupid question that I already know the answer to, but I built a bot that I want to trigger from an email.  So I have to monitor my Gmail account for the email to trigger it.  Is there a better way than just running it as loop while 1=1 using IMAP connection?

I don't think there is a better way, although you could use "true" instead "1=1".

 

Also, you might want to use a delay at the end of the loop, so you don't check email every second.

you can also use windows scheduler to run the bot every x amount of time

Thanks for the help.  Unfortunately, it's something that's time sensitive, so I want to run it as soon as possible after the email hits.  I've kept it open, and it doesn't seem to be much of a drain since the email account stays empty most of the time.
