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:
theme.lain_mail_notify = "/path/to/my/icon"
- "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
A textbox.
