I have a requirement that I want to log-in into a gmail

do so, using which I am able to log-in into a gmail account
fetch all unread message and then read them one by one. Now my
problem is that I am not able to mark the unread mail as read
and archive it.
I don't know what libgmail is, but I use IMAP for stuff like that
(with Gmail and other servers). Python's imaplib is a bit
low-level (and IMAP sucks rather badly as a protocol), so you
might want to take a look at imaplib2.

Or imapclient:
http://imapclient.freshfoo.com/
That looks promising though it's still a bit incomplete (e.g. doesn't
support 'idle' or 'examine' commands). But, for simple apps it looks
like a good options.
I think that sums it up fairly well. I've used it for doing various things
with my personal email (generating whitelists etc.). It is actively
maintained by its owner Menno Smits and lately by Mark Hammond, but
presumably only so far as their own requirements demand.
