##Explanation

  • My company uses an old version of exchange that doesnt play nicely with various native email clients available for ubuntu 12.04
  • Without a full blown VM, I can only check mail via Outlook Web Access (OWA)
  • Because OWA only works correctly in IE, it falls back to OWA Light
  • :(
  • I just want to know when I have unread messages
  • This was quick and dirty, no apologies :)

##Requirements

  • Redis installed locally - yes I know extreme. I don't care, I already had it installed. Fork this or submit a pull request if you want something more sane.
  • phantomjs
  • Python libs - redis, pynotify, selenium, hashlib

##Install

  • Put this project somewhere (I put it in ~/email-checker)
  • Modify the GLOBALS
  • pip install the aforementioned python libs
  • Add a cron job
crontab -e
* * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && python /home/dan/email-checker/check-email.py
