Conky SSL Email Python Script

[jtp755]

Actually i figured out what it was. Apparently on Gentoo...the PYTHONPATH is already being used for portage so i added a 2 on to the end of the conky stuff so its PYTHONPATH2 and everything seems to be working great now!

I should be able to loose the "$PYTHONPATH /usr/bin/python" as this should be set already in an OS...

I'll have a play once intrepid is running alright for me

UPDATE

I've updated the script and added a folder option for imap emails, so a folder can be specified, if not set the default "Inbox" is used.

The first post is updated and the package is available via apt.

UPDATE

I've published a new package labelled for Intrepid, starting at version 2.0.

The first post has been updated, and the package is available via apt.

To use the new intrepid "labelled" packages via apt, changes to your sources.list are needed. This:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu hardy main

Needs to become this:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/m-buck/ubuntu intrepid main

Currently either hardy or intrepid packages will work with either version of ubuntu.

However going forwards there are no guarantees that packages will continue to work with hardy, development may introduce intrepid specific dependencies. All future revisions will only be available for intrepid.

UPDATE

Updated the script as follows:

• Updated code to cope with varied message date formats, no one seems to follow the rfcs!
• Added --errorlog and --infolog options to log data to a file
• Refactored and tidied up
• Updated README

The first post is updated and the apt package will be available shortly

I think the error says it all. Have you included the full gmail email address as the username, I think google expect it. i.e.

--username=someone@gmail.com or --username=soneone@googlemail.com

or perhaps you have not enabled IMAP from the Gmail settings screen?

Thanks for the replies. My problem was I had only entered the credentials once, not the three times the conkyrc I'm using called for...

Ok, so after cleaning up and stripping down my conky, I've decided to add a few more items to it. After looking through the conky variables list, I noticed the "new_mails" variable. So I code it up and it works great, EXCEPT of course that I have to run my mail client before "new_mails" knows there's mail.

Then I find this thread, and go through the install. It tells me I have 33 mails, which is puzzling, until I actually READ the documentation and discover that it sees all the emails on a POP account and not just the new ones.

I sure would get a lot more sleep if I would bother to READ the documentation at the beginning and not the end!
