HOW IT WORKS

When you run the script, it securely connects to your Gmail account using OAuth and saves your login session so you don't have to log in again. It then connects to the Gmail API and searches your inbox for emails. For each email, the script extracts the subject and body — it prefers plain text but will convert HTML to clean text if necessary. It then cleans up the content by removing non-printable characters, extra spaces, and blank lines. Finally, the script saves all the cleaned subjects and message bodies into a single text file called emails.txt on your computer.
