1 Show mail status in a textbox over IMAP protocol.
7 New mails are notified through a notification like this:
9 +---------------------------------------------------+
11 | |\ /| donald@disney.org has 3 new messages |
13 | Latest From: Mickey Mouse <boss@disney.org> |
14 | Subject: Re: pay raise |
16 | Not after what you did yesterday. |
17 | Daisy told me everything [...] |
19 +---------------------------------------------------+
21 Text will be cut if the mail is too long.
23 myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap(args)
25 The function takes a table as argument. Required table parameters are:
33 while the optional are:
35 Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
37 `port` | IMAP port | int | 993
38 `refresh_timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
39 `header` | Text to show before value | string | " Mail "
40 `header_color` | Header color | string | `beautiful.fg_normal` or "#FFFFFF"
41 `color_newmail` | New mail value color | string | `beautiful.fg_focus` or "#FFFFFF"
42 `color_nomail` | No mail value color | string | `beautiful.fg_normal` or "#FFFFFF"
43 `mail_encoding` | Mail character encoding | string | autodetected
44 `maxlen` | Maximum chars to display in notification | int | 200
45 `app` | Mail program to spawn on click | string | "mutt"
46 `shadow` | Hide widget when there are no mails | boolean | false
47 `is_plain` | Define whether `password` is a plain password (true) or a function that retrieves it (false) | boolean | false
49 Let's focus better on `is_plain`.
51 You can just set your password like this:
54 args.password = "mypassword"
56 and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`.
58 **Or** you can use a keyring, like [python keyring](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring):
60 args.password = "keyring get password"
62 When `is_plain == false`, it *executes* `password` before using it, so you can also use whatever password fetching solution you want.
64 You can also define your custom icon for the naughty notification. Just set `lain_mail_notify` into `theme.lua`:
66 theme.lain_mail_notify = "/path/to/my/icon"
