Hi all,
I use Conky monitor (Conky - Home) for my laptop and I needed a script to see the count of new messages on gmail/IMAP, then I made this small perl script
(I hope they can be useful to someone )
gimap.pl
on crontab:
on conky file configuration (~/.conky/conky.conf):

There used to be a feature whereby when one would reply to one's own post the response would be added to the previous post as opposed to posted as an additional post. This seems to have been lifted, ie a reply to one's own post is in fact an additional post. What exactly is the rule? And is it true... (2 Replies)

Does anyone have any idea how to see only unread (new) e-mails in the Alpine client when using IMAP?
I finally have a fast IMAP client, but don't want to go over all the e-mails I've already read through other clients...
Thanks in advance for any hints.

Cyrus::IMAP - Interface to Cyrus imclient library
SYNOPSIS
use Cyrus::IMAP;
my $client = Cyrus::IMAP->new('mailhost'[, $flags]);
$flags = Cyrus::IMAP::CONN_NONSYNCLITERAL;
($server, $mailbox) = Cyrus::IMAP->fromURL($url);
$url = Cyrus::IMAP->toURL($server, $mailbox);
$client->setflags($flags);
$client->clearflags(Cyrus::IMAP::CONN_INITIALRESPONSE);
$flags = $client->flags;
$server = $client->servername;
$client->authenticate;
$flags = Cyrus::IMAP::CALLBACK_NUMBERED || Cyrus::IMAP::CALLBACK_NOLITERAL;
$client->addcallback({-trigger => $str, -flags => $flags,
-callback => &cb, -rock => $var}, ...);
$client->send(&callback, &cbdata, $format, ...);
$client->processoneevent;
($result, $text) = $client->send(undef, undef, $format, ...);
($fd, $writepending) = $client->getselectinfo;
DESCRIPTION
The Cyrus::IMAP module provides an interface to the Cyrus imclient library. These are primarily useful for implementing cyradm operations
within a Perl script; there are easier ways to implement general client operations, although they may be more limited in terms of
authentication options when talking to a Cyrus imapd.
In the normal case, one will attach to a Cyrus server and authenticate using the best available method:
my $client = Cyrus::IMAP::new('imap');
$client->authenticate;
if (!$client->send('', '', 'CREATE %s', 'user.' . $username)) {
warn "createmailbox user.$username: $@";
}
In simple mode as used above, "send()" is invoked with "undef", 0, or '' for the callback and rock (callback data) arguments; it returns a
list of "($result, $text)" from the command. If invoked in scalar context, it returns $result and places $text in $@. In this mode, there
is no need to use "processoneevent()". If more control is desired, use the callback and rock arguments and invoke "processoneevent()"
regularly to receive results from the IMAP server. If still more control is needed, the "getselectinfo()" method returns a list containing
a file descriptor (not Perl filehandle) which can be passed to select(); if the second element of the list is true, you should include it
in the write mask as well as the read mask because the imclient library needs to perform queued output.
For more information, consult the Cyrus documentation.
NOTES
"send()" behaves as if the "Cyrus::IMAP::CONN_NONSYNCLITERAL" flag is always set. This is because it is a wrapper for the C version, which
cannot be made directly available from Perl, and synchronous literals require interaction with the IMAP server while parsing the format
string. This is planned to be fixed in the future.
The 'LOGIN' mechanism can be used to authenticate with a plaintext username and password. This is intended as a workaround for a bug in
early SASL implementations; use of Cyrus::IMAP with non-Cyrus servers is not recommended, primarily because there are easier ways to
implement IMAP client functionality in Perl. (However, if you need SASL support, "Cyrus::IMAP" is currently the only way to get it.)
The file descriptor returned by "getselectinfo()" should not be used for anything other than "select()". In particular, I/O on the file
descriptor will almost certainly cause more problems than whatever problem you think you are trying to solve.
The toURL and fromURL routines are to ease conversion between URLs and IMAP mailbox and server combinations, and are a simple frontend for
the libcyrus functions of the same name.
The imparse library routines are not implemented, because they are little more than a (failed) attempt to make parsing as simple in C as it
is in Perl.
This module exists primarily so we can integrate Cyrus administration into our Perl-based account management system, and secondarily so
that we can rewrite cyradm in a sensible language instead of Tcl. Usability for other purposes is not guaranteed.
