For both of them you'll need to provide your credentials and imap server. For testing they can simply be called from console: -{% highlight bash %} +``` bash python ~/.config/awesome/email/countUnreadEmails.py python ~/.config/awesome/email/readEmails.py -{% endhighlight bash %} +``` Note that getting number of unread emails could take some time, so instead of `pread` or `spawn_with_shell` functions I use DBus, you can read more about it in [this]({{site.url}}/2015/09/fix-awesome-freezes) post. |
