I have been looking on the internet for a simple script on if you can monitor your gmail inbox, and to let the user know when a new email has arrived. So far surprisingly, I haven't found anything at all. I just need a script to check every few seconds if you have received a new email. It would be put in an 'if' statement, and it would do something once you have received an email. The checking would take place in a while loop, and it pauses every so often, and then it checks if you have received a new email. This may sound simple, but I cannot find anything online.

I don't know which mail domain you are using, so I'm sending the gmail's doc. You can loop the API and easily do what you want.

Unless I'm mistaken, you want to listen to your gmail mailbox. If so, here is a clue that will really help you email-listener 1.2. It is a python module which allows to listen to a mail server (Gmail). For more details go to the documentation here
