#7 Automatically create labels

[Jose Carlos Pereira]

If a label does not exit on the imap server, an error is given.
Since I'm not proficient in python, I created a simple patch to create the label.

Simple because, every time I log on, I call the create method, and ignore any resulting errors.
The correct thing to do would be to see if the label already exists, and if not, then create it...

Still, works for me (uploading to a google account) :-)

Thank you for your suggestion!
I'll take in your patch.
(I may have a try "check if the label already exists" method.)

Thanks a lot for this patch. Really helpfull if one have a lot of mbox files to upload. A simple bash script can upload them all directly to an empty GMAIL box. Let it run during the night...

#all .mbox are in the current directory, without spaces.
for i in *.mbox 
do
  python imap_upload.py --user bla --password blu ---gmail --box $(basename $i .mbox) $i
done
