This week you'll write five tiny functions that each talk to Gmail — one new verb every day. By Friday, your code counts, fetches, searches, drafts, and sends real messages inside your own inbox.
Five functions in one week sounds like a lot. Does each lesson stand on its own, or do I have to remember every prior one to make the next work?
Each lesson covers one verb in isolation. Day 3 counts, Day 4 fetches by id, Day 5 searches, Day 6 drafts, Day 7 sends. You'll see the same three-line skeleton every time — call the action, pull the field you want, return it — so the pattern is already in your hands before you start composing.
And everything runs against my actual Gmail account? The numbers I see in the console are my inbox, not a fake mock?
Live inbox, real numbers, every run. That is the reason Week 1 is Gmail — watching your live inbox answer a Python function is the best way to start this track.
Goal: By Friday you can name every Gmail verb you need for the rest of the track.
