You're looking for a way to code a Gmail inbox!

To access a Gmail inbox programmatically, you can use the Gmail API or IMAP protocol. Here's a brief overview of both options:

Gmail API

The Gmail API allows you to access Gmail data, including the inbox, using RESTful APIs. You'll need to:

Create a Google Cloud Platform project and enable the Gmail API.
Create credentials for your project (OAuth client ID and secret).
Use the API to retrieve the inbox data.

Here's an example of how to use the Gmail API in Python:

import google.auth
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

# Set up authentication
creds, project = google.auth.default(scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly'])

# Create the Gmail API client
service = build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=creds)

# Retrieve the inbox messages
response = service.users().messages().list(userId='me').execute()
messages = response.get('messages', [])

# Print the message IDs
for message in messages:
    print(message['id'])

IMAP

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a protocol for accessing email messages on a remote server. You can use IMAP to connect to a Gmail account and retrieve the inbox messages.

Here's an example of how to use IMAP in Python:

import imaplib

# Set up IMAP connection
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')
mail.select('inbox')

# Search for unread messages
status, response = mail.search(None, 'UNSEEN')
messages = response[0].split()

# Print the message IDs
for message_id in messages:
    print(message_id.decode())

Note that you'll need to enable IMAP access in your Gmail settings and allow less secure apps to access your account.

Remember to handle errors and exceptions properly when working with these APIs or protocols. Additionally, be mindful of Gmail's usage limits and terms of service when building your application.
