Software for Email notifications from Gmail (maybe Protonmail)?

[MrAccident]

FossaPup.
Is there a lightweight program for that? Since the Pale Moon Gmail extension became inactive, and who knows if it will come back.

[puppy_apprentice]

Maybe one of these:
https://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/
https://www.ubuntupit.com/best-mail-not ... for-linux/
https://www.linuxlinks.com/best-free-op ... ion-tools/

[MrAccident]

@puppy_apprentice - I just need something lightweight, that works well in FossaPup; do you have a recommendation?

[puppy_apprentice]

Maybe from console:
https://community.spiceworks.com/script ... mmand-line
http://opengmail.com/checking-gmail-mes ... -terminal/
https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/ ... mmand-line

[MrAccident]

@puppy_apprentice - I don't know how to do that. And these give notifications?
Also - will be good if the program can be added to start.

[puppy_apprentice]

I don't have Google account. If those scripts will work for you - you get list of messages from console, there will be no problem to make gui app from this script using gtkdialog that will check your account periodically and show proper notification.

[ThruHammer]

PA, mate - there's no testing without a Gmail account.

A-Man.. Want something lightweight that works well in FossaPup?

Great!

You first need to go into Gmail and setup an "app password" using Pups hostname.

Once done, dwnld and install this txz pkg. Paul knows his sh!t.

Once opened from your menus Network, you'll find a tray item.

Rt-clk, go to Accounts.

Give it a name, load your FULL Gmail user@gmail.com, "AppPasswd" and OK.

Set your prefs via the same rt-clk method.

If you've done everything right, hoovering over GM's QuickCheck tray icon will pop-up your list of unread emails.

Won and Done!

This is what I use to check gmail.
It will only list the unread subjects & authors, not the whole email.
You'll need something else to read the actual email.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#Filename: gmail
#Description: Fetch gmail tool

username="usernamehere@gmail.com"
password="passwordhere"

SHOW_COUNT=5 # No of recent unread mails to be shown

echo

curl  -u $username:$password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | \
tr -d '\n' | sed 's:</entry>:\n:g' |\
 sed 's/.*<title>\(.*\)<\/title.*<author><name>\([^<]*\)<\/name><email>\([^<]*\).*/Author: \2 [\3] \nSubject: \1\n/' | \
head -n $(( $SHOW_COUNT * 3 ))

@ThruHammer - I don't understand what is "Pups hostname".

[ThruHammer]

Either open your Internet icon from the tray, Interfaces / Hostname or type it into a terminal.

[MrAccident]

I didn't understand that, but never mind ― I don't want to use the "2-Step Verification" thing; it's a PITA. I thought it's going to be easy, cause I had Gmail Notifier in Pale Moon. I'll just keep Gmail open in my second browser - SeaMonkey; and maybe there will be an extension some day.
Thanks.

[ThruHammer]

Type "hostname" into a terminal.

Google needs to identify the device you'll be connecting with (puppypcxxxxx).

After initial setup there IS NO two-step verification. Simply hoover and read.

Actually... I was able to install X-Notifier; the following file →

x_notifier_reloaded-3.5.24-fx.sm.tb(Gmail fix).xpi.zip

(217.35 KiB) Downloaded 33 times

I should use "Gmail™ Notifier (restartless) 0.4.4.1" ― but I can't find it online.
It requires the following script:

Does anyone know how to add the script? I probably didn't do it correctly. I made a file called Gmail.js(cause it recognizes these files); and put the script into it, and added that; it doesn't work.

[ThruHammer]

No.

*YOU* - SHOULD GO WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS I TOOK THE TIME TO WORK THROUGH SO YOU YOUR REQUEST COULD BE FULFILLED.

If there's something I've written that you DON'T understand, SPEAK UP.

[MrAccident]

@ThruHammer - OK, works. And there really isn't the 2-step etc, every time; it was because I logged-in with Chromium for the first time. Well, there is a reason for my name...
Thank you.

[ThruHammer]

It works? Really?

Drop us a screenshot!

[MrAccident]

@ThruHammer - actually - one more question ― do you know how to change the browser for GMailQuickCheck only? I mean when I go to mail-box from the program. Cause Pale Moon is always connected to a different Google account, so I don't end in my mail-box; so I prefer to use SeaMonkey for it.

[MrAccident]

Drop us a screenshot!

Not much to see:

GMQC is NOT browser based, so, I'm not sure what you're asking.

[ThruHammer]

OK. You don't have a worthy SS app. You need one with a time delay so you can capture your hoover popup.

I have a suggestion..

Nevermind. I see it's running.

Does it in fact list your unopened emails when hoovering?

[MrAccident]

Yes, it shows the Email messages; I just didn't want to show them.

GMQC is NOT browser based, so, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Actually - it's a confusing thing. I mean - when I double-click GMailQuickCheck, or click "Compose Mail" ― it opens up a new tab in Pale Moon ― but it's the Google account where I don't use Gmail. I don't know why it goes to that account. Maybe it relates to the address of this account - https://accounts.google.com/b/0/AddMailService. Notice the "/b/0/". While when I do Google search (with "g" Keyword) ― it's with the main Google account. Maybe I should ask in Pale Moon's forum?

[ThruHammer]

Now "Compose Mail" is NOT what this thread is about.

You asked for the ability to receive new mail notifications.

This is what was delivered.

If you need to respond to these then you need to be continuously signed in.

[MrAccident]

OK, solved it - by clearing "google" cookies, and logging-into that Google account.
