We want a tool that can automatically access the gmail account and
store all (new) messages on our local server.

Using offlineimap:

 http://offlineimap.org/

 mkdir -p ~/local/src
 cd ~/local/src
 git clone git://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap.git
 offlineimap-git

Simple config file in ~/.offlineimaprc.

-----
[general]
accounts = SyriaSpeaking

[Account SyriaSpeaking]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/SyriaSpeakingGmail

[Repository Remote]
type = Gmail
remoteuser = syriaspeaking@gmail.com
remotepass = do_not_put_in_version_control
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
folderfilter = lambda folder: folder in ['INBOX']
-----

Then simply run script to get mail:

  ~/local/src/offlineimap-git/offlineimap.py

and it will download messages from gmail and put them in a Maildir
format in ~/pybossa/SyriaSpeakingGmail/INBOX/.

For now, you must enter gmail password to retrieve messages. If we are 
sure about security.
