Mail Server Solution(6)Email Scan and Auth on Client
1. Does Gmail API Support Forwarding, NO
We can set up customer filter manually
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en
We can use the admin SDK to set up filter for enterprise domain account with the administrator user.
https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/email-settings/
Or we need to download the email content and send a new email ourselves.
2. Scan the Email and Download the Attachment from Client
I plan to use JavaScript. Here is the list
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/
Here is the API for javascript.

3. Set up Env
Check the python version. Life is short, let’s use python. haha.
> python -V
Python 2.7.6
Create a very simple html file index.html
> cat index.html
Hello, Sillycat.
This will start the web server
> python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
We can visit the page for testing
http://localhost:8000/index.html
