-You can just set your password like this:
+The reason why it's false by default is to discourage the habit of storing passwords in plain files.

 
 

-    args.is_plain = false
-    args.password = "mypassword"
+You can set your password in plain like this:
+
+    myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap({
+        is_plain = true,
+        password = "myplainpassword",
+        [...]
+    })

 
 and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`.
 
 **Or** you can use a keyring, like [python keyring](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring):

 When `is_plain == false`, it *executes* `password` before using it, so you can also use whatever password fetching solution you want.

-You can also define your custom icon for the naughty notification. Just set `lain_mail_notify` into `theme.lua`:
+`settings` can use the value `mailcount`, an integer greater or equal to zero, and can modify `mail_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:
+
+    mail_notification _preset = {
+       icon = lain/icons/mail.png,
+       position = "top_left"
+    }
+
+Note that `mailcount` is 0 either if there are no new mails or credentials are invalid, so make sure you get the right settings.
