Nice Application, but please implement both SSL AND TLS!

An import from the akonadi-ressource are fine :)

Hello, i'm not really good with coding but i find a workaroud here http://pastebin.com/Xd0nKuex

In the file mail_checker.cpp
I replace the line :

actual_action(CLOSE_CONNECTION), certificate_details_dialog(0), time_to_check(0), check_messages(-1), check_error(false)

By this one :

actual_action(CLOSE_CONNECTION), certificate_details_dialog(0), time_to_check(0), check_messages(-1)

And it works fine.
As i say i'm not good with coding so it maybe break some kind of stuff but for now i don't seen anything strange here.

See my message below (i'm new with posting on kde-look and i made a mistake when trying to answer to your post)

If I try to authenticate against my mail-server with a password that contains special characters like '(' or ')' the authentication will fail.
This could be a bug in my mail-configuration but the password works with all other mail-applications flawlessly.

Report

I found out that the password must be quoted with double quotes in mailchecker.cpp in the function MailChecker::writeData(Action action):

case VERIFY_USER:
if (account->protocol == "POP3") {
data.append("USER ");
data.append(account->username.toAscii());
}
else if (account->protocol == "IMAP4") {
data.append("001 LOGIN ");
data.append(account->username.toAscii());
data.append(" \"");
data.append(account->password.toAscii());
data.append("\"");
}
break;

The changed lines are tho ones containing the data.append("\"") statements.

Would be nice if the background of the popup was the same as the background for the battery widget, clock widget, network management widget, etc. On my oxygen theme it's just a white background.

I second this ! Options to format the background / font color to match other widgets would make this widget perfect.

Besides that: excellent work !

Would be nice if more information was shown when new mail arrived such as the title and sender of the received msgs (and, if I'm allowed to really hope, also the first x characters of the message!)

Thanks for this nice plasmoid. I was wondering whether it would be possible to change the tray icon.

In particular, is there a way to choose the tray icon? Or, can it be done only be replacing the *.svg files and recompiling?

The problem is that I would like to have a consistent look with the icon theme (different to Oxygen). Is it possible that the tray icon changes according to the icon theme?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can try replace SVG in source code for now.

I add this feature in future, but now there are important things.

Hi,

Great work on this plasmoid, there is nothing else like it. But:

I am getting the certificate accept dialog on every login now. It didn't do this on first install (built for kde-4.5.1) but I did "something" and soon it started asking every time.

The server is dovecot-2.2 on a machine on my LAN, with the default self-signed certificate. If it matters, I am accessing the server via a WAN URL that resolves to the local machine via my local DNS server (don't think this should matter as it didn't before).

Have tried removing the plasmoid and re-creating it, account and all, but this doesn't seem to help. Where is the cert stored normally?

Hi,

i will add checkbox for "skip cert check", because there are too much problems with several servers.

Update soon.

When I run the command "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`" as instructed in the README, I get the following error:
"CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:98 (MESSAGE):

Any suggestions on how to update whatever it is I need to update?

You have posted wrong patch! It do the diff contrary, you must remove the string with "+" and add with "-" for apply.

Applying this patch by hands (contrary) fixes compilation error for me on Kubuntu Maverick! Thank's!

Please fix the patch or apply it to plasmoid core!

hi,

first of all thanx for a good work.

I would like to have some new features:

1. the possibility to specify an IMAP folder to check, not just INBOX only.

2. the possibilty to check all folders in my IMAP account.

These two feature could be sumarized into one, more complicated: the possibility to select (any or all) folders to check in IMAP account.

Hy. I uninstalled the plasmoid, and installed the old 0.4.2 from source. It works flawlessly with the gmail too. But 4.3 and 4.4 are not. (If anybody has got problem like me, the 4.2 will solve the problem.)
