**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.

Shows mail status in a textbox over IMAP protocol.
|
|
|
|
New mails are notified through a notification like this:
|
|
|
|

Text will be cut if the mail is too long.
|
|
|
|
myimapcheck = lain.widgets.imap(args)
|
|
|
|
The function takes a table as argument. Required table parameters are:
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
`timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | 60
|
|
`encoding` | Mail character encoding | string | autodetected
|
|
`maxlen` | Maximum chars to display in notification | int | 200
|
|
`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`.
|
|
|
|
You can just set your password like this:
|
|
|
|
args.is_plain = false
|
|
args.password = "mypassword"
|
|
|
|
and you'll have the same security provided by `~/.netrc`.
|
|
|
|
**Or** you can use a keyring, like [python keyring](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring):
|
|
|
|
args.password = "keyring get password"
|
|
|
|
When `is_plain == false`, it *executes* `password` before using it, so you can also use whatever password fetching solution you want.
|
|
|
|
`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
|
|
|
|
A textbox. |
