3 Shows mail status in a textbox over IMAP protocol.
5 New mails are notified through a notification like this:
7 +---------------------------------------------------+
9 | |\ /| donald@disney.org has 3 new messages |
11 | Latest From: Mickey Mouse <boss@disney.org> |
12 | Subject: Re: pay raise |
14 | Not after what you did yesterday. |
15 | Daisy told me everything [...] |
17 +---------------------------------------------------+
19 Text will be cut if the mail is too long.
21 myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap(args)
23 The function takes a table as argument. Required table parameters are:
25 Variable | Meaning | Type
27 `server` | Mail server | string
28 `mail` | User mail | string
29 `password` | User password | string
31 while the optional are:
33 Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
35 `port` | IMAP port | int | 993
36 `timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
37 `encoding` | Mail character encoding | string | autodetected
38 `maxlen` | Maximum chars to display in notification | int | 200
39 `is_plain` | Define whether `password` is a plain password (true) or a function that retrieves it (false) | boolean | false
40 `settings` | User settings | function
42 Let's focus better on `is_plain`.
44 You can just set your password like this:
47 args.password = "mypassword"
49 and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`.
51 **Or** you can use a keyring, like [python keyring](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring):
53 args.password = "keyring get password"
55 When `is_plain == false`, it *executes* `password` before using it, so you can also use whatever password fetching solution you want.
57 `settings` can use the string `mailcount`, whose possible values are:
60 - "invalid credentials"
63 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:
65 notification _preset = {
66 icon = lain/icons/mail.png,
