Desktop Gmail is a superkaramba theme which uses wget to read the rss feed for your Gmail inbox and displays it on a GUI. It displays upto twenty latest messages(five at a time) as well as the no. of total unread messages.

It shows the name of the author of the mail as well as the subject of the mail. On hovering over the name, a tooltip containing the authors email id is displayed and when hovered over the subject, the summary of the body is shown.

This theme displays upto 20 latest messages from your Gmail inbox(5 at a time), the authors of the message and the no. of unread messages.

On hovering over the name, the email id is displayed and on hovering over subject, a summary of the body is displayed.

Open gmail.py and enter your username and password.(see readme for details).

sKimap SuperKaramba theme will display the number of new and unread emails in your imap mail account. It can monitor your imap server mailboxes for new and unread messages. It will auto-size itself to accommodate the number of mailboxes you are watching.

The number of mailboxes is only limited by your screen real-estate. You can choose which of the mailboxes on your account you want to watch.

You can set the update interval, and which email client opens when you click the top of the theme. Configuration is all done through a configuration dialog.

libgmail project is a pure Python binding to provide access to Googles Gmail web-mail service.
Please note: Always download and test the CVS version of libgmail if you are having problems. The most recent packaged version no longer works correctly. The current development status means critical errors caused by changes at Gmail will be corrected as soon as possible in CVS, if the author is notified about the issue.
Archive Gmail messages to mbox format
The library currently ships with one demonstration utility to archive messages from an Gmail account into mbox files, suitable for importing into a local email client.
Use your Gmail account as a SMTP server
The library now includes a demonstration utility gmailsmtp.py that sets up a SMTP proxy on port 8025 of your computer to enable you to use a standard mail client (e.g. Mozilla, Mail.app) to send messages. (Attachments are now supported.)
Use your Gmail account as a POP server
The library now includes a demonstration utility gmailpopd.py that sets up a POP3 proxy on port 8110 of your computer to enable you to use a standard mail client (e.g. Mozilla, Mail.app) to retrieve messages.
Use your Gmail account as a FTP server!
The included demonstration gmailftpd.py sets up a download-only FTP proxy on port 8021 of your computer to enable you to use a standard ftp client to retrieve message attachments that have the label ftp.
Enhancements:
- Minor bugfix -- before, if you logged in with an incorrect password, the program would exit poorly instead of throwing the appropriate exception.

imapbiff checks IMAP accounts for new mail. It uses images similar to those of the classic xbiff program. The project works similar to xbiff, except it is only used to check for new mail in IMAP accounts.

It is written in perl, and requires the Tk module for perl. It was written spefically to be docked in my fvwm2 button bar, as I could not find a simple xbiff like app that would do IMAP checks.

IMAP::Admin is a Perl module for basic IMAP server administration.

SYNOPSIS

use IMAP::Admin;

$imap = IMAP::Admin->new(Server => name.of.server.com,
Login => login_of_imap_administrator,
Password => password_of_imap_adminstrator,
Port => port# (143 is default),
Separator => ".", # default is a period
CRAM => 1, # off by default, can be 0,1,2
SSL => 1, # off by default
# and any of the SSL_ options from IO::Socket::SSL
);

$err = $imap->create("user.bob");
if ($err != 0) {
print "$imap->{Error}n";
}
if ($err != 0) {
print $imap->error;
}
$err = $imap->create("user.bob", "green");
$err = $imap->delete("user.bob");
$err = $imap->h_delete("user.bob");

$err = $imap->subscribe("user.bob");
$err = $imap->unsubscribe("user.bob");

$err = $imap->rename("bboard", "newbboard");

@quota = $imap->get_quotaroot("user.bob");
@quota = $imap->get_quota("user.bob");
$err = $imap->set_quota("user.bob", 10000);

@acl = $imap->get_acl("user.bob");
%acl = $imap->get_acl("user.bob");
$err = $imap->set_acl("user.bob", "admin", "lrswipdca", "joe", "lrs");
$err = $imap->delete_acl("user.bob", "joe", "admin");

@list = $imap->list("user.bob");
@list = $imap->list("user.b*");

$imap->{Capability} # this contains the Capabilities reply from the IMAP server

$imap->close; # close open imap connection

IMAP::Admin provides basic IMAP server adminstration. It provides functions for creating and deleting mailboxes and setting various information such as quotas and access rights.

Its interface should, in theory, work with any RFC compliant IMAP server, but I currently have only tested it against Carnegie Mellon Universitys Cyrus IMAP and Mirapoints IMAP servers. It does a CAPABILITY check for specific extensions to see if they are supported.

Operationally it opens a socket connection to the IMAP server and logs in with the supplied login and password. You then can call any of the functions to perform their associated operation.

Separator on the new call is the hiearchical separator used by the imap server. It is defaulted to a period ("/" might be another popular one).

CRAM on the new call will attempt to use CRAM-MD5 as the login type of choice. A value of 0 means off, 1 means on, 2 means on with fallback to login. *Note* this options requires these perl modules: Digest::MD5, Digest::HMAC, MIME::Base64

SSL on the new call will attempt to make an SSL connection to the imap server. It does not fallback to a regular connection if it fails. It is off by default. IO::Socket::SSL requires a ca certificate, a client certificate, and a client private key. By default these are in current_directory/certs, respectively named ca-cert.pem, client-cert.pem, and client-key.pem. The location of this can be overridden by setting SSL_ca_file, SSL_cert_file, and SSL_key_file (youll probably want to also set SSL_ca_path).

I generated my ca cert and ca key with openssl: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout ca-key.pem -out ca-cert.pem
I generated my client key and cert with openssl: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout client-key.pem -out req.pem -nodes openssl x509 -CA ca-cert.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -req -in req.pem -out client-cert.pem -addtrust clientAuth -days 600

Setting up SSL Cyrus IMAP v 2.x (completely unofficial, but it worked for me) add these to your /etc/imapd.conf (remember to change /usr/local/cyrus/tls to wherever yours is) tls_ca_path: /usr/local/cyrus/tls tls_ca_file: /usr/local/cyrus/tls/ca-cert.pem tls_key_file: /usr/local/cyrus/tls/serv-key.pem tls_cert_file: /usr/local/cyrus/tls/serv-cert.pem
For my server key I used a self signed certificate: openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout serv-key.pem -out serv-cert.pem -nodes -extensions usr_cert (in openssl.cnf I have nsCertType set to server)
I also added this to my /etc/cyrus.conf, it shouldnt strictly be necessary as clients that are RFC2595 compliant can issue a STARTTLS to initiate the secure layer, but currently IMAP::Admin doesnt issue this command (in SERVICES section): imap2 cmd="imapd -s" listen="simap" prefork=0
where simap in /etc/services is: simap 993/tcp # IMAP over SSL

rss2imap is a tool which gets RSS (RDF Site Summary) from web and delivers to the IMAP server as an e-mail message.
rss2imap enables you to use IMAP supported MUA as a RSS reader and to use IMAP functionality effectively such as unread mail management. You can choose mail format, either text/plain or text/html.
If you are tired of maintaining rss with more than one distributed client and DISLIKE web interface like google reader or bloglines, this software may be for you. rss2imap is an easy to use, preferable software for those who maintain imap server.
Main features:
- RSS 0.9, 1.0, 2.0, Atom 0.3 support.
- text/html, text/plain mail format support.
- rss2imap helps HTML inline presentation.(HTML mode only: this is borrowed by Mozilla Thunderbird)
- You can unify unread RSS article management via IMAP. This is useful in case of using multiple client.
- IMAP over SSL support
- Connect via proxy, proxy authentication support.
- import configuration file from opml.
- export opml file from configuration file.
- Generate IMAP Folder dynamically from every RSS title, and so on.
- If rss2imap detects update of web site, it changes timestamp of mail and make its status unread. This feature is useful for site update check.
- For example, you can import Hatena antenna. rss2imap enables you to unify mail check and site update check.
- Automatically delete expired article.
- By executing in channel mode, it can work as simple Antenna.
- Reduce needless traffic by using If-Modified-Since header.
- rss2imap doesnt cache mail in a local machine.
- rss2imap can work in daemonized mode. You can use it without cron.
