What led me down this path? Well, for some reason the geniuses at Google decided to make it very difficult to delete or select all of your messages. Using a browser, you are only able to select 10 at a time. On a mobile device, using an application, it is even more painful. I did some digging around and found pygooglevoice. It allows you to utilize the Google Voice API via Python. Most these will only operate on 10 messages at a time, however that is easily rectified with multiple calls or some better python programming than I know.<\/p>\n

You need to have python installed to execute these scripts. I used these on a CentOS 6 system. <\/p>\n

Software: http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/pygooglevoice\/<\/p>\n

Installation\/Configuration:<\/p>\n

# yum install python python-setuptools
\n# easy_install simplejson
\n# easy_install -U pygooglevoice
\n# cd \/usr\/lib\/python2.6\/site-packages\/pygooglevoice-0.5-py2.6.egg\/googlevoice
\n# vi settings.py
\n…
\n# JGZ – Updated login URL since default did not work
\n#LOGIN = ‘https:\/\/www.google.com\/accounts\/ServiceLoginAuth?service=grandcentral’
\nLOGIN = ‘https:\/\/accounts.google.com\/ServiceLogin?service=grandcentral’
\n…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Script samples to use the module:<\/p>\n

Delete all read messages from your inbox:<\/p>\n

from googlevoice import Voice<\/p>\n

voice = Voice()
\nvoice.login(‘GOOGLEVOICELOGIN’, ‘PASSWORD’)<\/p>\n

for message in voice.inbox().messages:
\n if message.isRead:
\n message.delete()\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Delete all read messages from your trash:<\/p>\n

from googlevoice import Voice<\/p>\n

voice = Voice()
\nvoice.login(‘GOOGLEVOICELOGIN’, ‘PASSWORD’)<\/p>\n

for message in voice.trash().messages:
\n if message.isRead:
\n message.delete()\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark all unread messages as read:<\/p>\n

from googlevoice import Voice,util<\/p>\n

voice = Voice()
\nvoice.login(‘GOOGLEVOICELOGIN’, ‘PASSWORD’)<\/p>\n

while True :
\n folder = voice.search(‘is:unread’)
\n if folder.totalSize <= 0 :\n break\n util.print_(folder.totalSize)\n for message in folder.messages:\n util.print_(message)\n message.delete(1)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
