Import/export google mail (was "[is it possible to] create custom Google Lab")

Is it possible to create a cus开发者_如何学Ctom Google Lab project? Or do Google Engineers have to create them? I'd like to integrate Gmail with another web application on a company web server.

If that is not possible, is there a way to import/export google mail in some format (ie: XML, HTML, etc..) for a specific gmail user or group of gmail users?

No.

You're looking for the IMAP protocol, which allows you to interact with Gmail messages.

No, it's not possible. Google Labs projects are Google's own experiments, not something you can add to yourself.

As Nadir Muzaffar said, maybe Gmail's API is what you're looking for: https://developers.google.com/gmail/

I'd like to add that you may create a browser extension. You may start with experimenting with Developer toolbar (F12) and then pack your javascript to an extension.

If you use I.E. Chrome, see I.E. https://robots.thoughtbot.com/how-to-make-a-chrome-extension or try to look at your current extensions in order to understand how it's working ( ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/ or ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions/ )

Note that if GMail changes, your extension may not work anymore.
