 * Reminder script for GMail: A simple Google Apps Script to create a Google Calendar event (reminder) for any mail (with a  
 * specific label). You can then setup ("timed") triggers in Apps Script (hourly, etc) to monitor your Inbox.
 * How to Use:
 * 1. Log into Google Drive account and create a Google Script.
 * 2. Copy and paste the below snippet into the gs file.
 * 3. Make sure to update the 'reminderLabel', 'calendarName' and 'reminderDuration' as per your preference.
 * 4. Test the script to make sure it is working properly.
 * 5. Setup a time-driven Project Trigger (hourly, etc) to automatically run this script and create calendar events.
