wmckgmail

If you're someone who wants to keep a constant watch on the number of unread emails in your Gmail inbox, then wmckgmail is the ideal solution for you. This program is designed to make your life easier by providing a simple way to monitor your Gmail inbox with ease.

The wmckgmail project uses the popular wget command to fetch the Gmail atom feed and read the number of new emails from this feed. It is built on the foundation of the wmgeneral code, ensuring that it functions flawlessly without causing any issues for the user.

When you install wmckgmail, you'll find that it's a dockapp that can be used with X window managers, including Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, Fluxbox, and Enlightenment. This app is straightforward in its design, and it has the Gmail M icon and a small counter.

If the program is unable to access Gmail, you'll see the "ERR" string in the counter, and the M icon will be greyed out. But when Gmail is accessible, and your configuration file contains a valid username/password combo, the counter will show the number of new emails in your inbox.

If there are no unread emails in your Gmail inbox, the M icon will remain greyed out. But if there are unread emails, the M icon will take on its normal colors, and the counter will indicate the number of unread emails in your inbox.

Overall, wmckgmail is an easy-to-use program that offers a fantastic way to keep track of your Gmail inbox's unread emails. It's simple, reliable, and makes your life that much easier.
