OUTDATED

This project is very old and very unlikely to works. At least it would need some adaptation if not major ones. The upstream library changed a lot but maybe the code could be useful in some way so it's kept here as an archive.

Description

This program allows to make a two-way gateway between your WhatsApp account and your email address.

This means that this program:

• (1) Will receive your WhatsApp messages and forward them to your email address AND
• (2) It will forward emails in your IMAP/POP3 (or with SMTP/LMTP) directly to WhatsApp.

Install

You will need to install yowsup and the dependencies:

    pip install yowsup2 python-axolotl parse

Then to configure this app, copy and edit the config file in YAML:

    cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
    edit whatsapp_config

Configuration (YAML):

In your config.yaml, change fields as necessary:

• reply: The email address template that's used to reply to WhatsApp messages forwarded by email, for example: myaccount+{}@gmail.com . Note that the {} is replaced by the destination phone number.
• whatsapp: Section containing WhatsApp credentials
• phone: Your phone number using the international format (2 numbers), then your local number without the leading zero, eg: 41791234567
• password: Your WhatsApp password, you should have it already or you need to register, read: tgalal/yowsup#195 (comment)
• ingoing: Configures where are the messages you write that should be forwarded to WhatsApp. This program will connect through IMAP or POP3 (or can listen as a standalone SMTP server).
• with: IMAP or POP3 or SMTP or LMTP
• (look at config.yaml.example for the rest of details)
• outgoing: Configures where are delivered the received WhatsApp messages to (currently only support: forward by email).
• with: SMTP # only possible value for now
• host: SMTP server address
• port: SMTP server port
• user: SMTP username to auth (can be empty)
• pass: SMTP password to auth (can be empty)
