Hi, thank you for your plasmoid.

I had the same probleme of compilation.
thanks to ubuntu-fr.org community (user moi1392) problem is solved.

I have applied that patch (save following code into the file gmailnotifier.patch and use command patch -p1 < gmailnotifier.patch):

I have some feedbacks :
* crypting passwords (or using the kde wallet)
* permit to open the inbox by doubleclicking on the plasmoid (for example)

Add the support of more than one gmail account.

ex.:

gmail - Pier Luc: You have 3 new messages
gmail - Family: You have no new messages

i have this reeror message

same problem on debian lenny.

I have same problem on Mandriva 2009.

GMailNotify insists that I have 325 new messages, even though I don't have any unread messages in my inbox. It didn't change after I deleted all spam and all messages in trash.

And how about google Apps email login ?

Is my password safe there?

not yet, it's stored in plain text.
Maybe in next version. Have you some suggestion for the method can i use?
Thanks

You could use KWallet :)

I would like to use QT or Kdelibs/Kdebase... not other software..

KWallet is part of kdeui in kdelibs. Search for wallet on http://api.kde.org

I read for KWallet but..
If the service is disabled how it works?
And with Kwallet is it necessary of one master password? In this case the user must put anyway one password. At this point it's better to request directly the mail password?!
I look for how Thunderbird store password (without Master Password), and they are in a file "encrypted" in base64.

you can make usege of kwallet optional with a chakbox in config dialog. BTW all kde apps use kwallet (for me it's kopete, konqueror, kmail, kdesvn) to store passwords and it is considered quite safe

You need to put the master password only to "open" the wallet, tipically at the beginning of a session ... or after the wallet is closed because not used for a long time.

The expiration of a Wallet is set by the user

many thanks! i searched for "KWallet" at api.kde.org and i had "no result".. the right word is "Wallet" :P..

you don't want gpg?

I would like to create an plasmoid without external dependencies

Nice but email checking every 5 seconds (if this is by default like in your screenshot) seems a little bit too much...

I will increase the default interval... thanks!

I have build packages for openSUSE 10.2 and newer, thy can be find here:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&p=1&q=kde4-plasmoid-gmailnotify

Could you please add a version number to the tarball?

can you upload the package because i cannot find it
thanks

Added page and version number.
many thanks!
