Description: This is a SuperKaramba theme to check for total and unread messages on one or more Hotmail accounts.
Now works with Windows Live!
Converted to using GetLive (http://sourceforge.net/projects/getlive/), thanks to Jos De Laender for continuing work on it.
Feel free to use it and modify it as desired.Last changelog:
Version .3: - Now works with Windows Live! - Converted to using GetLive (http://sourceforge.net/projects/getlive/), thanks to Jos De Laender for continuing work on it. - Now shows number of messages in each box as well as unread messages.
Known Issue: Columns are not being honored properly by SuperKaramba, although the shell script outputs it correctly. If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know.
Version .2: Gotmail appends to the temporary mailbox files causing them to grow very large. This update cleans up the temp mail files after each run.
Hi
Nice little theme :)
I noticed that when you've read an email the widget was never being updated so I had to add the command "interval=60000" into the hmail.theme file.
It now reads:
program="/home/user/hmail/scripts/gethotmail" fontsize=11 interval=60000
Can you let me know whether I was supposed to do this or not.
Many thanks
Dave
Hi
I also noticed that the widget doesn't display all the columns correctly if a hotmail folder has "spaces" in it's name.
To fix this I just renamed my hotmail folders and changed the "spaces" for underscores _
Cheers

No, it isn't specified anywhere. Thats just the SK default for that sensor type. I guess I could add a statement or comment somewhere in the future if/when I update this again.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, the core program (gotmail) only works with Hotmail and its derivatives (hotmail.com , msn.com, charter.com, compaq.net, hot?mail.co.jp, hotmail.co.uk, hotmail.de, hotmail.fr, hotmail.it,messengeruser.com, passport.com, webtv.net).

The "program" sensor is supposed to have a default interval of 360000 milliseconds (6 minutes). Did you wait longer than 6 minutes for it to update?
No I didn't opps ;) Sorry for being impatient. Is it specified anywhere that it will update every 6 mins ? Many thanks Dave

Any way to convert it to Gmail checker? or any mail address knowing the directions of the servers?
