-Shows mail status in a textbox over IMAP protocol.
+**Please be warned**: this is a temporary solution, since it works fine in normal situations but causes little freezes if connection is sobbing. I am working on something much more solid.
-Dependencies:
+---
-- python3
+Shows mail status in a textbox over IMAP protocol.
New mails are notified through a notification like this:
The function takes a table as argument. Required table parameters are:
-Variable | Type
---- | ---
-`server` | string
-`mail` | string
-`password` | string
+Variable | Meaning | Type
+--- | --- | ---
+`server` | Mail server | string
+`mail` | User mail | string
+`password` | User password | string
while the optional are:
Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`port` | IMAP port | int | 993
-`refresh_timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
-`header` | Text to show before value | string | "Mail "
-`header_color` | Header color | string | `beautiful.fg_normal` or "#FFFFFF"
-`color` | Mail value color | string | `beautiful.fg_focus` or "#FFFFFF"
-`mail_encoding` | Mail character encoding | string | autodetected
+`timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
+`encoding` | Mail character encoding | string | autodetected
`maxlen` | Maximum chars to display in notification | int | 200
-`app` | Mail program to spawn on click | string | "mutt"
-`shadow` | Hide widget when there are no mails | boolean | false
`is_plain` | Define whether `password` is a plain password (true) or a function that retrieves it (false) | boolean | false
+`settings` | User settings | function
Let's focus better on `is_plain`.
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 string `mailcount`, whose possible values are:
+
+- "0"
+- "invalid credentials"
+- string number
+
+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:
+
+ notification _preset = {
+ icon = lain/icons/mail.png,
+ timeout = 8,
+ position = "top_left"
+ }
+
+### output
- theme.lain_mail_notify = "/path/to/my/icon"
