Thanks kaivalagi. This time it works like a charm:) May I know whether your scripts can display 4 latest message or not.
I would like to do something like this:
Gmail: x new.
1. From:Subject
2.
3.
4.
Yahoo: x new.
1. From:Subject
2.
3.
4.
Hope I'm not asking too much:) Thanks again
Not currently supported, although the python libraries I used can get hold of that detail. I'll have a look at some point to see how tricky it might be.Quote:

The tricky thing is making it happen without going back and forth to the mail server on each script call...Interesting challenge I think :)

Back on Topic...
Nice idea - From:Subject.
Won't play will with someone who is controlling spacing though.
For me, the number of new mails is just fine. :)Code:Ubuntu Forums: Reply to thread '[all variants] Conky SSL Email Python Script'
Heather: Old Age
Tom Smith: Hello
I'd say K.I.S.S. it. But those who have seen my conky know the K.I.S.S. principle was not applied. :lolflag:
Have a nice day.

I have the "from" and "subject" output working now for IMAP, but like you've said it will be a problem to keep data aligned nicely (we need html tables in conky!)Quote:

The reason being 2 fold:
- Currently having the possibility of mailbox counts along the same output line (based on a template) means that any multiple line output for extra info will mess the layout up well and truly
- An alternative template for "from" and "subject" layout would be troublesome for multiple messages and for the spacing of "from" and "subject" data, if on the same line, due to lengths differing.
The question is, how many people need to retrieve data for more than one mailbox, if only a few exist (like me) can they make do with multiple calls (I can)
I am planning on providing 2 new options, an --accountname=Yahoo option, and a --mailinfo=3 option for the amount of detailed output. If mailinfo if not set or set to zero, current functionality will remain and only count info is returned. Only when you provide a positive mailinfo number will the script then start piecing together info for output, probably in multi-line format like this:
<accountname> <count>
From: <from> Subject: <subject>
From: <from> Subject: <subject>
From: <from> Subject: <subject>
So...what's the consensus? I can do this and the only side effect for keeping current functionality will be the requirement for multiple exec calls for multiple mailboxes...
Edit: current output is this:
GMail: 3 New
From: Sainimere Tala <xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.com> Subject: RE: Amori's pics
From: Admin <xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.com> Subject: Request
From: "Mark Buck" <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com.au> Subject: test
or with --mailinfo not set:
3
TESTING
I've got the --mailinfo option working for both pop and imap, and have left the template functions in place.
Any --mailinfo option in a template is ignored, so the mailinfo option can only be used in command arguments in exec calls.
I've attached the script here...remember to run the script with --help option to get details...
Let me know what you think, if all is okay then I'll publish it through my personal project archive for apt updates...
The changes shouldn't affect your current use of the script :) Please check....
Wow! You're as quick as Superman!:)I have tested your scripts but maybe because I do not know how to use --help, the result is a bit awkward. Anyway, it turn out more a less as expected. Congratulation! and Thanks:)
As you can see from my screenshot, the red circle is the result if I use ivleph script and the blue one is from yours. I am just curious why imap.googlemail.com is displayed. Besides, do I have option to display:
"Mark Buck":test
instead of
From: "Mark Buck" <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com.au> Subject: test
In other word can I get the similar result as if I use ivleph. Sorry for being too demanding but I just want to use only one script to handle my email instead of two as for now. Btw, your scripts is well maintained!:)
Code:${color 00bfff}Email${color blue}${hr 0}$color
${color aeaeae}Gmail: ${color red}${texeci 60 perl ~/.scripts/conkyGmail.pl n} new.$alignr${color aeaeae}Yahoo: ${color red}${execi 60 python ~/.scripts/conkyEmail.py --servertype=POP --servername=pop.mail.yahoo.com --username=xxx --password=xxx --ssl} new.

you can set --mailinfo to be how ever many extra lines of info you want, if set to 5 but you have 3 new mails it will only use the space required for the 3 etc...
If this is how you want it then you can use this script for all your mailboxes....it works for ssl/non-ssl pop and imap
Everyone else, can you let me know you're okay with this change, i.e. it doesn't change what the script does for you...
Thanks Kaivalagi:) Exactly as I want (hope not sound too selfish:)). Now I will delete the other script confidently. Thanks again.
