gtk_gmail_notifier

Show notifications about unread conversations in Gmail.

Deprecated: I consider this program deprecated in favor of Google Chrome extensions that do the job in a better way than a program separate from the browser could ever do.

Introduction

gtk_gmail_notifier is a small program written in Python, targeted for the desktop environment GNOME. It periodically fetches information about unread conversations in Gmail from the Atom feed of Gmail. When there are unread conversations it shows an icon in the notification area and pops up a summary of each conversation using pynotify. Gmail passwords can be inserted in the code, or the password can be left empty to read from ~/.purple/accounts.xml, where the password can be found if you have Pidgin configured to connect to Jabber (Google Talk) with your Google account.
