KCheckGmail-0.1

Description:
KCheckGmail is a kicker applet to display how many email messages you have in your Gmail account.

In this release there is only basic functionality.

KCheckGmail requires KDE 3.2 or later. It is written in C++ so you will also need to have the QT and KDE devel packages installed.

Installing KCheckGmail:

1. cd kcheckgmail-0.1
2. make -f Makefile.cvs
3. ./configure
4. make
5. make install
   

That's it! KCheckGmail should now be in the Kicker's Applet menu.

Using KCheckGmail:
The first time you use KCheckGmail, click to open the configuration dialog, enter your username, password and the checking interval, and click ok. Assuming your username/password is correct, you will either get a standard google icon (meaning, 0 new messages) or a faded out icon with your message count. A single left click on the icon will open Gmail in KDEs default browser.

TODO:

• Write a flex parser for the javascript returned from google. It will be possible to use this data to differentiate messages when an email arrives at the same time an email is read...
• It would be nice, although not sure how possible at this stage, to have a KIO slave representation of gmail. Read your Gmail messages from konq?
