Ubuntu 9.10 available – working on gm-notify update
Hey guys,
finally, Karmic was released yesterday including many very interesting new changes and features. Personally I use this version since one week and I am very satisfied with the whole system – smooth and stable… At least since I found the reason for a bug in the nm-applet which wouldn’t let me connect to my SwissVPN: I spent hours to find a solution and in the end it was a wrong password 
However, the indicator-applet was part of a big evolution, too – and the possibilites and API changed a lot… Currently I’m trying to adapt gm-notify to the new situation and it almost works – at least the way it did before. Nevertheless, the checking algorithm never was really convincing at all, so I’m trying to rework this, too. If anybody has an idea or some documentation how GoogleMail can push new mails to the notifier please let me know 
All in all I hope that I can release a new version in a few weeks!
Alex
Hows the update coming? if it would be a .deb that would really make life much esayer for the non-programmer guys..
Thanks in advance.
Wunderbar
Hi,
it’s very unsatisfying – I wrote a completely new backend based on imaplib2 and had to recognize that imaplib2 is buggy and not integrated to ubuntu anymore… I’m slowly running out of ideas what to do next
checkgmail uses atom feeds, maybe worth looking in to? http://checkgmail.sourceforge.net/
also, if you’ve made changes, could you put them in the launchpad repository when they’re done? thanks in advance!
mmh, the first gm-notify versions used atom-feeds, too – but I replaced them with IMAP because they had some disadvanteges. I’m currently trying to switch to IMAP IDLE…
Ja, was soll ich sagen. Scheinbar gibt es da auch andere Meinungen
