email arrives with a timestamp within the last five minutes.
Additionally, you can view all of the mail for a particular mailbox:
import mailinator
emails = mailinator.get_mail('my_username')
[email.preview_subject for email in emails]Returns something like the following
['Trends Overview Part III: Consumer',
'Find Your RV at MyRVLink.com...',

This module also includes the command mailinator which is simply a call to
get_newest_mail with the first command line argument treated as the user name.
