wmgmail, Yet another Gmail notifier.

This is a DockApp, intended for use with WindowMaker or fluxbox -window managers. It has a graphical configuration interface using GTK+.

Functionality includes:

• Checking for new mail in Gmail (strictly speaking it's using "is:unread" -query)
• Variable checking time (from 2min to several hours)
• GUI for settings
• Mail contents preview (shows same snippets that Gmail inbox does)
• Mail contents preview can be setup to popup on new mail
• This popup can be automatically closed after configurable time.
• A program can be executed upon new mail arrival

Dependencies

wmgmail has four dependencies. For absolute minimum utility you'll need python, pywmgeneral and libgmail. If you want graphical configuration and mail preview, you will also need reasonably recent (for GTK version 2) pygtk.

• python: Most distributions have it.
• pywmgeneral.
• libgmail.
• pygtk (Most distros have reasonably new).

Installation

Non-debian:

1. tar xvfz wmgmail-<version>.tar.gz
2. cd wmgmail-<version>
3. python setup.py install
4. Done. After this you should be able to start wmgmail by typing wmgmail.

Technoblabber

wmgmail is written in python and uses libgmail for interfacing gmail, pygtk for dialog interfaces and pywmgeneral for dockapp business. Great thanks to all respective authors.
