3 **Please be warned**: as for now, this works fine in normal link situations, but is discouraged to use it if your connection is sobbing, since it may cause some short freezes due to timeout issues. I am working on socket libraries to solve this.

9 Shows mail status in a textbox over IMAP protocol.
11 New mails are notified through a notification like this:
13 +---------------------------------------------------+
15 | |\ /| donald@disney.org has 3 new messages |
17 | Latest From: Mickey Mouse <boss@disney.org> |
18 | Subject: Re: pay raise |
20 | Not after what you did yesterday. |
21 | Daisy told me everything [...] |
23 +---------------------------------------------------+
25 Text will be cut if the mail is too long.
27 myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap(args)
29 The function takes a table as argument. Required table parameters are:
31 Variable | Meaning | Type
33 `server` | Mail server | string
34 `mail` | User mail | string
35 `password` | User password | string
37 while the optional are:
39 Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
41 `port` | IMAP port | int | 993
42 `timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
43 `encoding` | Mail character encoding | string | autodetected
44 `maxlen` | Maximum chars to display in notification | int | 200
45 `is_plain` | Define whether `password` is a plain password (true) or a function that retrieves it (false) | boolean | false
46 `settings` | User settings | function
48 Let's focus better on `is_plain`.
50 You can just set your password like this:
53 args.password = "mypassword"
55 and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`.
57 **Or** you can use a keyring, like [python keyring](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring):
59 args.password = "keyring get password"
61 When `is_plain == false`, it *executes* `password` before using it, so you can also use whatever password fetching solution you want.
63 `settings` can use the string `mailcount`, whose possible values are:
66 - "invalid credentials"
69 and can modify `notification_preset` table, which will be the preset for the naughty notifications. Check [here](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/naughty.html#notify) for the list of variables it can contain. Default definition:
71 notification _preset = {
72 icon = lain/icons/mail.png,
