MailSummary

This script is a simple tool for generating summaries of incoming emails in Polish using the OpenAI GPT-3 model (text-davinci-003). Upon receiving a new email, the script generates a summary and then sends it as a notification via the Pushover service.

Imports

from os import getenv
from time import sleep

import openai
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from imap_tools import MailBox, A
from requests import post

• os.getenv: Used for reading environment variables.
• time.sleep: Used for introducing delay.
• openai: The OpenAI library, which allows interaction with the GPT-3 model.
• dotenv.load_dotenv: Used for loading environment variables from a .env file.
• imap_tools.MailBox, A: Used for interaction with an IMAP server.
• requests.post: Used for sending HTTP POST requests.

Application Setup

load_dotenv()
client = MailBox(getenv('IMAP_HOST')).login(getenv('IMAP_LOGIN'), getenv('IMAP_PASSWORD'), 'INBOX')
openai.api_key = getenv('OPENAI_API')

The application setup starts by loading the environment variables from the .env file, then initializing the MailBox client and logging into the IMAP server. The OpenAI API key is also loaded as an environment variable.

chatgpt Function

def chatgpt(text):
    ...

The chatgpt function uses the OpenAI GPT-3 model to generate summaries for the given text. It tries to perform the operation 6 times (adjustable via retries variable) and introduces a 20-second delay (set by wait_time) between attempts if the OpenAI API returns a rate limit error.

send_pushover Function

def send_pushover(message, title):
    ...

The send_pushover function is used to send notifications via the Pushover service. In case the notification sending fails, the function returns error information.

Main Loop

while 1:
    responses = client.idle.wait(timeout=60)
    ...

In the main loop of the program, the script waits for new email messages using the IMAP IDLE method. When a new message arrives, the script generates a summary for it and then sends it as a notification using the Pushover service. The loop runs indefinitely, checking the mailbox every minute (set by timeout=60).

All configuration variables (such as IMAP_HOST, IMAP_LOGIN, IMAP_PASSWORD, OPENAI_API, PUSHOVER_TOKEN, PUSHOVER_USER) should be set in the .env file.

Before running the code, ensure that all required libraries are installed and the appropriate environment variables are set.
