This Furius5PopMail re-work dramatically improves the original Karamba widget and works fine on KDE 4.2.

It now supports 5 Pop Mail boxes.

Someday I may add local MailBox support (in addition to POP).

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 20
Minor opcode: 0

I'm afraid this karamba theme does not work with gmail. This is because gmail does not use the standard port (110), but instead uses port 995. If I get time, I may look into adding gmail support to this theme.

I can't seem to get this to work with gmail. Gmail uses pop.gmail.com but on port 995 instead of 110. Is there any way to change this? I also tried in the config puting in 209.85.201.111:995 (pop.gmail.com port 995) but that didn't work either.

Possible to make it work with KDE 4. As I have noticed few karamba widgets don't require Superkaramba running for widgets to work.

I'm afraid I don't have KDE 4

Is there a way to make this project IMAP compatible?

Instead of doing your own polling, why not just use dcop to be alerted when a new message arrives in kmail? That way you can support multiple accounts and multiple protocols.

marcusfurius

Simply because not everyone uses kmail.

Ok sorry it works now after restarting my computer. I had downloaded and used your Furius System Monitor and Furius Mail a few hours ago and when I came back recently my computer was completely locked up. CPU usage was at 100% and I had no choice but to restart.

However, I would like to make a suggestion.

In addition to it checking every 10 minutes can you make it so that if you click once on it, it checks for mail? Double click would obviously open up the email program of choice.

This does not seem to work for me.

I have a Verizon account and I have put in the correct log in credentials in the mailconfig.py file. I have sent a test email to myself and the theme does not seem to work.

If you run the theme from a terminal window with the following command:

superkaramba FuriusPopMail.theme

This will give details of what is happening. If you can post the output, i'll have a better idea of the problem.

The other thing is that the widget checks for email every 10 minutes. Did you wait?

Very Nice indeed. I particularly like the mouseover affect, and having the server, login information in a separate file is very helpful, avoiding trying to locate it in a long configuration file.

Is there a way to access multiple accounts?

Not yet. It's something that I could look into adding in a new version.
