    <p>I apologise in advance, I know this will be a simple answer but I'm not having any luck and it's starting to bug me.</p> <p>I just want to log into my Gmail account using imaplib and credentials pulled from a file. I can log into Gmail no worries using:</p> <pre><code>srv = imaplib.IMAP_SSL("imap.gmail.com") srv.login("bob@gmail.com", "mypassword") </code></pre> <p>But instead I'm trying to use a text file (credentials.dat). Inside the file is 2 lines:</p> <pre><code>bob@gmail.com mypassword </code></pre> <p>My code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>import imaplib CREDS = open("credentials.dat", "r") account = CREDS.readline() password = CREDS.readline() srv = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com") srv.login(account, password) </code></pre> <p>When I run it I get the followign error:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 480, in login typ, dat = self._simple_command('LOGIN', user, self._quote(password)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 1028, in _simple_command return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/imaplib.py", line 865, in _command_complete raise self.error('%s command error: %s %s' % (name, typ, data)) imaplib.error: LOGIN command error: BAD ['Failed to parse your command r13if7033890ebd.47'] </code></pre> <p>I assume it doesn't like the data type being entered into srv.login, but I have no idea how else to do it.</p> <p>There are so many more things I want to do once I get into Gmail (read emails, post, etc), but it's looking like an uphill battle if I can't even log in :( </p> <p>Thanks for your time.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
