+`password` | User password | string
while the optional are:

--- | --- | --- | ---
`port` | IMAP port | int | 993
-`refresh_timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
-`header` | Text to show before value | string | " Mail "

+`settings` | User settings | function
Let's focus better on `is_plain`.
-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.
+
+You can set your password in plain like this:
- args.is_plain = false
- args.password = "mypassword"
+ 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):
- args.password = "keyring get password"
+ myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap({
+ is_plain = true,
+ password = "myplainpassword",
+ server = "mail.autistici.org",
+ mail = "dada@anche.no",
+ })
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.
+
+### output
- theme.lain_mail_notify = "/path/to/my/icon"
