Mail Applet

[edit] Info

The Mail Applet allows anyone to quickly receive notification on new mail right from their Awn. It includes out-of-the-box support for Gmail, IMAP, POP, Google Apps and Unix Spool.

[edit] Dependencies

The applet requires the feedparser library for Python. The package name for various distributions can be found at the Awn Extras dependency matrix.

The applet also requires the GNOME Keyring Daemon. Please run the daemon before starting AWN. This is required to securely store your password. In the future, AWNLib will hopefully support other password storage mechanisms. Lastly, your system will require notify-send if you are not using testing. Most systems come with it installed.

Note that the Mail applet will pop up a helpful message if you are missing any of the requirements.
