Maic imap checker

= About = maic is just another widget that shows NEW/RECENT messages on IMAP accounts. It handles multiple accounts. Configuration is stored in the file ~/.config/awesome/maic.cfg using INI file syntax (including login credentials - permissions will be checked and adjusted at first run). I placed it beside a vicious battery, net and cpu widget on a seperate status bar at the bottom of the screen.



= Install = ... mailWidget = widget({ type = "textbox" }) mailWidget.text = "Init" mailWidgetTimer = timer({ timeout = 300 }) mailWidgetTimer:add_signal("timeout", function   mailwidget.text = awful.util.pread("/usr/local/bin/maic.py") end) mailWidgetTimer:start ...
 * Get the latest version on my svn server and save it to /usr/local/bin/maic.py
 * Add the widget to ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua. Adjust timeout to your needs

= Configuration = Create the file ~/.config/awesome/maic.cfg and add one section per account. The name of the section will be the identifier in the widget (like in the screenshot above) [Foo] servername: username: password: ssl:  [Bar] servername: username: password: ssl:  If ssl is not given, plain imap (port 143) is used. = Bugs / suggestions = Please edit here for bug reports and/or other suggestions
