Gmail is a free email service offered by Google. Use this tag for programming questions related to Gmail's APIs. General Gmail usage questions belong at webapps.stackexchange.com

The Gmail API is a API that can be used to access Gmail mailboxes and send mail. For most web applications (including mobile apps), the Gmail API is the best choice for authorized access to a user's Gmail data.

The API supports many of the basic operations available through the Gmail user interface like reading, composing, and sending mail. It also lets you manage labels on threads and messages and query for specific messages and threads.
