python - Python Selenium - clicking on the account confirmation link in the email

Question

I want to write a test in selenium python. This is what i would like to acheive.

Steps:

1. Create an account on XYZ
2. then, go to gmail or outlook
3. Go to inbox mail
4. find confirmation email
5. click on the confirmation email
6. Logout

I would like to know if it is a good idea to login to gmail or outlook and click on each elements using browser. Is there any python library that i can use to achieve this without using a browser?
