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
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# gimap.pl by gxmsgx
# description: get the count of unread messages on gmail imap
use strict;
use Mail::IMAPClient;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
my $username = 'example.username'; # example.username@gmail.com
my $password = 'password123';
my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new(
PeerAddr => 'imap.gmail.com',
PeerPort => 993,
)
or die "socket(): $@";
my $client = Mail::IMAPClient->new(
Socket => $socket,
User => $username,
Password => $password,
)
or die "new(): $@";
if ($client->IsAuthenticated()) {
my $msgct;
$client->select("INBOX");
$msgct = $client->unseen_count||'0';
print "$msgct\n";
}
$client->logout();
on crontab:
Code:
* * * * * ~/scripts/gimap.pl > ~/.email/gimap.ct
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)

GIT-IMAP-SEND(1) Git Manual GIT-IMAP-SEND(1)NAME
git-imap-send - Send a collection of patches from stdin to an IMAP folder
SYNOPSIS
git imap-send
DESCRIPTION
This command uploads a mailbox generated with git format-patch into an IMAP drafts folder. This allows patches to be sent as other email is
when using mail clients that cannot read mailbox files directly. The command also works with any general mailbox in which emails have the
fields "From", "Date", and "Subject" in that order.
Typical usage is something like:
git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send
CONFIGURATION
To use the tool, imap.folder and either imap.tunnel or imap.host must be set to appropriate values.
Variables
imap.folder
The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts folder. For example: "INBOX.Drafts", "INBOX/Drafts" or
"[Gmail]/Drafts". Required to use imap-send.
imap.tunnel
Command used to setup a tunnel to the IMAP server through which commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection to
the server. Required when imap.host is not set to use imap-send.
imap.host
A URL identifying the server. Use a imap:// prefix for non-secure connections and a imaps:// prefix for secure connections. Ignored
when imap.tunnel is set, but required to use imap-send otherwise.
imap.user
The username to use when logging in to the server.
imap.pass
The password to use when logging in to the server.
imap.port
An integer port number to connect to on the server. Defaults to 143 for imap:// hosts and 993 for imaps:// hosts. Ignored when
imap.tunnel is set.
imap.sslverify
A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is true. Ignored when
imap.tunnel is set.
imap.preformattedHTML
A boolean to enable/disable the use of html encoding when sending a patch. An html encoded patch will be bracketed with <pre> and have
a content type of text/html. Ironically, enabling this option causes Thunderbird to send the patch as a plain/text, format=fixed email.
Default is false.
imap.authMethod
Specify authenticate method for authentication with IMAP server. Current supported method is CRAM-MD5 only.
Examples
Using tunnel mode:
[imap]
folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
tunnel = "ssh -q -C user@example.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
Using direct mode:
[imap]
folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
host = imap://imap.example.com
user = bob
pass = p4ssw0rd
Using direct mode with SSL:
[imap]
folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
host = imaps://imap.example.com
user = bob
pass = p4ssw0rd
port = 123
sslverify = false
EXAMPLE
To submit patches using GMail's IMAP interface, first, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your account settings:
[imap]
folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
user = user@gmail.com
port = 993
sslverify = false
You might need to instead use: folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error that the "Folder doesn't exist".
Once the commits are ready to be sent, run the following command:
$ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (GMail's web interface will wrap lines no matter what, so you need to use a
real IMAP client).
CAUTION
It is still your responsibility to make sure that the email message sent by your email program meets the standards of your project. Many
projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as format=flowed) in ways
that make them fail. You will get angry flames ridiculing you if you don't check this.
Thunderbird in particular is known to be problematic. Thunderbird users may wish to visit this web page for more information:
